Raudenbush is a professor in the Department of
Sociology at the University of Chicago.
His research interests include: Analysis
of Multilevel Data; and Methods for Studying Psychological
Change Within Schools, Classrooms, and Families.
He considers his
most significant achievement to date as having people
use improved statistical methods to study children
in educational settings and seeing research improve
as a result. He has spent the last 10 years focusing
on building into statistical models the fact that
children are clustered into social settings rather
than just solitary individuals. In addition, he has
also presented workshops at national meetings to enable
people to understand these methods.
