A recent study by Dr. Radomir Ray Mitic, a 2019 recipient of an IOE SemyonovAward fellowship in higher education research, delves into the intricate dynamics shaping study abroad decisions among first-generation U.S. college students. The research offers compelling insights into the pivotal role of family cultural capital. Leveraging data from the Educational Longitudinal Survey (ELS: 2002), Dr. Mitic analyzes precollege and college-related factors influencing students' propensity to engage in international educational experiences.

COVID-19 has had a swift and ubiquitously profound social impact arguably unseen at any other point of crisis in recent history. As the pandemic marched on, Russian education experienced a hard time settling into the new lay of the land with COVID-induced disruptions defying much of the system’s common norms, standards, and practices.

Anastasia Andreeva, Diana Koroleva, Sergei Kosaretsky, and Isaak Frumin have embarked on a research journey to explore how various stakeholders in Russian K—11 education interacted amid a tapestry of centrifugal and centripetal winds stirred by COVID-19. A chapter summarizing the study findings has been published in Springer’s Schools and Society During the COVID-19 Pandemic: How Education Systems Changed and the Road Ahead.
