James Chu
About
James is a Ph.D. student in Sociology at Stanford University. James is broadly interested in organizational theory, economic sociology, and education inequality. He is currently working on three projects:
(1) assessing causal impacts of education interventions on classroom-level outcomes (e.g. social networks)
(2) an ethnographic study of how legitimacy is constructed in schools and its effects on classroom discipline
(3) identifying how school institutional features moderate the effect of grading discrimination and stereotype threat on student achievement.
Prior to Stanford, James managed randomized controlled trials for the Rural Education Action Program.
