Margaret A. Hagerman, Ph.D.
|
Margaret A. Hagerman studies racial socialization, or how kids learn about racism, racial inequality, and racial privilege in the context of their everyday lives. Through listening to the voices of children and youth, her research illustrates what young people today think about race and racism in America. And by observing kids in the contexts of their families and communities, she explores how this process of racial learning unfolds--and what the consequences of this process mean for our future.
She is currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Mississippi State University and a Faculty Affiliate in the African American Studies Program and the Gender Studies Program. Her new book, White Kids: Growing Up with Privilege in a Racially Divided America (NYU Press) is now available.
