Carolina Milesi Post-Doctoral Fellow

Carolina Milesi earned her PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Carolina’s research focuses on socioeconomic disparities in education and health. Her dissertation examined the trajectories youth follow in post-secondary education, and in particular the impact that increasingly alternative trajectories have had on the completion of a post-secondary degree. Her most recent work focuses on the impact that health conditions early in life have on the development of cognitive skills as children begin formal schooling. Carolina’s research has been supported by the Spencer Foundation and the American Educational Research Association.
