Erin Murphy-Graham is interested in the role education plays in promoting or inhibiting social change. Her research focuses on three areas: the role education in promoting gender equity, the expansion and reform of secondary education in Latin America, and the connection between research and policy. Her most recent research is a qualitative study of the ways in which an innovative secondary education program empowers marginalized women in Garifuna villages on the north coast of Honduras.Prior to joining the faculty at Berkeley, Murphy-Graham was a Research Associate at the Harvard Study for Decisions in Education. As part of a multi-disciplinary research team, Murphy-Graham investigated the role of evaluation evidence in decision-making about the popular school-based drug prevention program, D.A.R.E., at the local, state, and federal levels.
Murphy-Graham has also worked as a consultant to government agencies and NGOs in Honduras, Colombia and Nicaragua. She has co-taught courses on program evaluation, research design, educational reform in developing countries, and international education policy. At Berkeley she teaches courses on gender and education and international education.
