By Public Affairs

Tolani Britton
Name: Tolani Britton
Discipline: Education
Degrees: B.A. and M.A. in economics, Tufts, 2001 and 2002; M.A. in French Cultural Studies, Columbia, 2004; Ed.D., Harvard Graduate School of Education, 2018
Research interests: I use quasi-experimental methods to explore the impact of policies on students’ transition from secondary school to higher education, as well as access and retention in higher education.
Other interests: Travel and reading; In first grade, I said that I would be a lifetime student, and since then I have spent over 30 years in school — though not always as a student.
