Research
Pizmony-Levy’s major research interests center on the intersection of education and social movements. His research draws on three academic fields: comparative and international education, global and transnational sociology, and sociology of education. Within those fields, his work has focused on three “cases” of global educational movements: (1) international large-scale assessments, (2) environmental and sustainability education, and (3) sexual orientation and gender identity in education.
