Roberto D. Ortiz is a PhD student in sociology at Indiana University-Bloomington (IU), specializing in organizations, culture, and stratification. They have two main streams of research: The first uses quantitative methods to explore occupational prestige’s relationship with income and education. The second employs qualitative methods to investigate how organizational culture shapes interactions among people in educational settings. Roberto's work has been generously supported by the Ronald E. McNair Graduate Fellowship and the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF-GRFP).
Before joining IU, Roberto graduated summa cum laude from the University of Georgia (UGA) with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Sociology, Women's Studies, and Music. Outside of academia, Roberto is passionate about music and serves as the second clarinetist of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra.
