Her research focuses on the intersecting domains of participation in post-secondary education, equitable opportunities, and the relationship between institutional structures and individuals as agents. Dr. Andres’s main research project is the 22 year longitudinal study – the Paths on Life’s Way Project – which provides a detailed account of individuals’ lives, choices, and post secondary education and work experiences across different points in time since high school graduation.
