Celeste Watkins-Hayes
I am a Professor of Sociology and African American Studies at Northwestern University, author, and educator widely credited for my research at the intersection of inequality, public policy, and institutions, with a special focus on urban poverty and race, class, and gender studies. The consistent thread in my work from my graduate training in Harvard’s Sociology department and Multidisciplinary Training Program in Inequality & Social Policy to the present is my scholarship’s direct engagement with national debates in the public and policy spheres.
