Dr. Welsh’s research focuses on understanding and transforming inequality in K-12 education, and his scholarship interests include urban education, the economics of education, school discipline, student mobility, the politics of education and research-practice partnerships.
He employs a combination of quantitative and mixed methods and leverages frameworks from economics, political science, and sociology to better understand the mechanisms of inequality such as suspensions and the policies, practices, and processes intended to enhance educational equity such as coalitions and their influence in educational policymaking. Professor Welsh’s work has appeared in several journals, including Review of Education Research, Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Educational Researcher, Education Finance and Policy, Teachers College Record, and Urban Education.
