Professional Biography

Dr. Monique Harrison is a postdoctoral fellow in Penn’s Graduate School of Education. She was previously a Dissertation Fellow at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research as well as the lab manager for the Pathways Research Lab.

Research Interests and Current Projects

At Penn I am currently working on a project on Career and Technical Education courses in high school, and how they relate to higher education outcomes. In other work, I currently follow a cohort of undergraduates to understand how gender, race, and socio-economic status influence academic predilections and course choices.
