Said Hassan

Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow

I am a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, where I completed my PhD in 2024.

I study social stratification with a focus on education. My current research examines the potential and limitations of school interventions in reducing inequalities in educational outcomes by socioeconomic and ethnic background. Methodologically, I specialize in causal inference and often employ quasi-experimental designs to answer questions related to school choice, teacher effectiveness, and racial/ethnic discrimination.

You can read more about my research on my personal website www.saidhassan.net.
