Kevin Schoenholzer

LIFE Fellow since 2023, University of Zurich

I am a doctoral research associate at the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development, working on a Swiss National Science Foundation project as part of my dissertation: "Understanding Social Gradients in Education." I obtained my master's degree in political science and Economic History from the University of Zurich and my bachelor's degree in political sciences from the University of Toronto. My research interests include socioeconomic stratification, government policy, beliefs, and statistical modeling using large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal data. I look forward to learning and collaborating in the multidisciplinary and international environment that is the LIFE program.
