Angela R. Dixon

Angela R. Dixon earned her PhD in sociology and social policy with a concentration in demography at Princeton University. Her work broadly focuses on the ways race, ethnicity, skin color, and discrimination structure patterns of stratification across societies. Her dissertation explored perceptions of color and class discrimination in Latin America. As a Bell Fellow, she examined how the relationship between perceived discrimination and health varies across the socioeconomic spectrum. (Angela is currently assistant professor of learning sciences in the school of education and social policy, with a joint appointment in the Pritzker School of Law at Northwestern University.)
