Anthropology and Sociology
Andrea Kauffman-Berry
Assistant Professor of Sociology
Dr. Kauffman-Berry examines racial systems at work in the U.S., Latin America, and across the globe in her teaching and research. She uses quantitative methods, including GIS, to explore racial and ethnic processes, migration, and urban topics. Her research advances scholarship on race by testing theories of racial formation and clarifying critical differences between racial power relationships and ethnic group membership. Her current project is a comparative study of racial systems in the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. She completed her Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania and earned her B.A. in the Humanities at Yale.
