RESEARCH
Dr. Silova’s research focuses on the study of globalization, democratization, and policy ‘borrowing’ in education. Her research and publications cover a range of issues critical to understanding post-socialist education transformation processes, including gender equity trends in Eastern/Central Europe and Central Asia, minority/multicultural education policies in the former Soviet Union, as well as the scope, nature, and implications of private tutoring in a cross-national perspective. Her most recent research documents the influence of international NGOs on education policy-making in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia. She is the author of From Sites of Occupation to Symbols of Multiculturalism: Re-conceptualizing Minority Education in Post-Soviet Latvia (Information Age Publishing, 2006) and coeditor (with Mark Bray and Virginija Budiene) of Education in a Hidden Marketplace: Monitoring of Private Tutoring (Open Society Institute, 2006).
