How does a religious upbringing influence a student’s academic outcomes? In this talk, Dr. Horwitz discusses research from her new book, God, Grades, and Graduation: Religion’s Surprising Impact on Academic Success (Oxford University Press, 2022). She explains why intensely religious students tend to overperform in educational attainment and undermatch in college choice, and how the relationship between religion and academic outcomes varies by socioeconomic status. About the Member Spotlight Series: Our Member Spotlight Series events are small virtual gatherings that are opportunities for our members to lead conversational seminars about topics related to their research. HxA is proud to foster a space for these conversations to take place.
