Seth Walker
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study how education policies and financial incentives shape educational access, student success, and early-career outcomes. My research uses large-scale administrative data and applied quantitative methods to examine financial aid, teacher labor markets, advanced learning opportunities, and educational policy design.
