Emilio Luna
Master of Arts Student in Education, admitted Summer 2024
BioMy name is Emilio, and I am a Masters of Arts candidate in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University. I began teaching as a way to spend my gap year before matriculating into medical school, but quickly became aware of the flaws of the education system that currently make equity in education unattainable. I quickly fell in love with the rewarding feeling of serving my community, who has historically been underserved as a result of the shortcomings of the public education system. Because of this, I developed a need to change careers and explore the education sector more in depth. I plan on teaching for a few years and down the line address the issues that raise barriers to education equity systemically from leadership roles such as principal or superintendent.

Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
Ph.D. Minor, Comparative Studies in Race and EthnicityCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research lies at the intersection of higher education, immigration, and family studies, with an emphasis on how the children of Latinx immigrants make sense of their higher education trajectories and aspirations. I am particularly interested in the role of families within college choice decision-making and employ both qualitative and data science methods to investigate how familial values and knowledge is employed throughout the college application process for Latinx students.
