Robert Fox, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Hawaii, has -- in the last fifteen years -- developed an international reputation as a school choice scholar. In 2004, along with co-Editor Nina Buchanan, he coined the term "ethnocentric charter schools." In 2012, he was invited to lead a team which produced The Line Between Cultural Education and Religious Education: Do Ethnocentric Niche Charter Schools Have a Prayer? for Reviews of Research in Education. Fox is Chair of the American Education Research Association's School Choice Special Interest Group, a Consulting Editor of the Journal of School Choice and co-Chairs the International Research Conference on School Choice and Reform which takes place every January in Florida.
