Stefania Toma is a researcher at the Romanian Institute for Research on National Minorities (ISPMN), Cluj-Napoca, specializing in the sociology of education, ethnic minorities, migration, and Roma studies. Her work examines how educational trajectories intersect with ethnicity, poverty, and social marginalization, with a particular focus on the Roma minority. She investigates the structural conditions that shape educational participation among minority and disadvantaged populations. Alongside her educational research, she explores broader questions of social cohesion and trust in ethnically diverse localities. Her fieldwork bridges sociological and anthropological perspectives on inequality and community life.
