Andrea Voyer

Voyer will complete a book on the “etiquette of inequality” in democratic spaces, or the everyday behaviors and practices that influence the participation and social inclusion of individuals within civic organizations. She will analyze how participants of different socioeconomic status, race, gender, and immigration status communicate with each other in supposedly egalitarian settings, including a public school, a church, and a community board. She will explore how individuals navigate social inequality between one another, and will evaluate techniques that successfully bridge inequalities within these organizations.
