Welcome

Nora Weber is an evaluator and social science researcher, whose work focuses on education and work.

As both a researcher and evaluator, I take a multi-methods approach, with particular experience in surveys, secondary data analysis, interviews, text analysis, and field and survey experiments. As a social science methodologist, I enjoy learning about advances in qualitative and quantitative methods and tools, and helping project teams and clients identify the best methodological approach to answer their questions.

Communicating findings to diverse audiences, I have published and contributed to a wide range of professional publications, reports, toolkits, presentations, and conference appearances. My goal in engaging people with data is to make the research process transparent and the findings clear and compelling.

My work is grounded in the belief that research should center and involve people closest to the research. From my experience, equitable research approaches also lead to richer, more meaningful, and actionable findings.

My instructional experience includes assisting and leading graduate-level statistics, survey methods, and experimental design, and assisting undergraduate Introduction to Sociology and Sociology of Education. For over a decade, I have volunteered in adult education and career preparation, and substitute taught in multiple states.

Thank you!

Research

Some of my research has explored relationships between education and work and how hiring professionals assess applicant fit; the effects of educational attainment on political beliefs; and how national news media covers K-12 education.
