Online won’t save higher ed - intentional online will. In my latest op-ed for @timeshighered (Sept 22, 2025), I argue that thoughtful online design can stabilize enrollment without sacrificing quality. Read more at: timeshighereducation.com/opinion/online…

Along with @TeachersCollege colleagues, I have published an article examining the impact of distance learning in higher education, highlighting significant adoption increases, threshold limitations, and policy implications for equitable access. Read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Privileged to present my study on sociopolitical attitudes and religious beliefs towards the Indian education system at #CIES2024 in Miami, exploring the determinants of public opinion in India. The audience was highly engaged and asked insightful questions. @TC_ICeducation

@HallaHolmars @cies_us @TC_ICeducation @CIESNewScholars @NYAAPOR @CIESouthAsiaSIG That would be amazing. I look forward to seeing you soon, Halla.

The halls of @TeachersCollege have borne witness to the beginning of the tale of education changes sweeping the world. I am proud to continue my doctoral journey where Dewey, Russell, Monroe, Kilpatrick, Ambedkar, Mead, and Mann, among others luminaries, graced those corridors.

@denstreete Congratulations, Dr. @denstreete! Well earned. Thank you for all that you do! Indeed, I’m a proud former @UCBerkeley’s Pipeline to Ph.D. Bootcamp fellow.

Nice way to return to the office on a Monday. #DiversifyThePhD

@austinlwright @HarrisPolicy Congratulations for this deserving honor, Dr. @austinlwright! 🎉

Honored to share that I received this year’s faculty prize. It was a genuine pleasure to see my students push the boundaries of what they thought was possible and learn to love (or at least appreciate) how causal inference is at the core of evidence-based policy evaluation.

@PrasannaKr2000 @EverettCC @WSUEverett @TeachersCollege @Columbia Happy to connect and share resources, @PrasannaKr2000! Feel free to drop me a PM, and we can schedule a time to talk.

@TheSumitKarn @EverettCC @WSUEverett @TeachersCollege @Columbia I want to learn, how to get there like - how to get scholarship to study abroad without anyone's help by our dedication and right path. I'm also from a poor family but i have this dream to get into an intellectual sphere to learn and teach others 🥺

@tomasesper You will be missed, friend. Incredible things await you.

Four years. Thanks for everything, specially for my friends. This city will always be home. Bye bye New York 🗽!

@EngelLC Congratulations, Prof. @EngelLC! Incredible news, indeed.

@tony_jack @PrincetonUPress @hgse @BUWheelock @InequalityHKS @RadInstitute @ASAnews @ASA_SoE The Privileged Poor was an important read, Dr. @tony_jack. Looking forward to reading this when it comes out.

One. Final. Read. Coming your way later today @PrincetonUPress!

@fatmastufan9 @TeachersCollege @Columbia Thank you!

From a small public school in a remote village of Bihar (India) to an M.A. graduate of @TeachersCollege and now a Ph.D. student @Columbia. I do this for my 10-year-old self, walking barefoot for miles to attend school, knowing that my teacher may or may not show up that day.
