Description
When we sort students into cooperative learning groups, we often attempt to create balanced groups that reflect the diversity of the students in our classes.

Olga is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Brigham Young University, a Research Fellow at IZA (the Institute of Labor Economics), and the Research Director at the Science of Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, and the Co-Director of the Gender and Civic Engagement lab at BYU.
