Anna R. Haskins is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Cornell University. She studies processes and institutions that mitigate or exacerbate social inequalities, with a particular emphasis on better understanding the persistence of racial and class disparities in educational outcomes and the implications these have for later-life academic and labor market trajectories, in addition to the transmission of inequality across generations. Her current work explores the impact paternal incarceration has on children’s cognitive and non-cognitive development during the early elementary years. Haskins is a former elementary school teacher.
