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), which won the best book award from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS) for an outstanding English-language scholarly book in Baltic Studies (humanities and social sciences) published in 2006 or 2007. Her last two edited volumes include How NGOs React: Globalization and Education Reform in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia (Kumarian Press, 2008; with Gita Steiner-Khamsi) and Education in a Hidden Marketplace: Monitoring of Private Tutoring (Open Society Institute, 2006; with Mark Bray and Virginija Budiene). Since 2008, Dr. Silova is the co-editor (with Alex Wiseman) of European Education: Issues and Studies (a quarterly peer-reviewed journal published by M.E. Sharpe).
