Paola Giuliano
University of California, Los Angeles
Visiting Scholar
2012 to 2013
Giuliano will research the long-term effects of living through economic downturns. In particular, she will examine whether people who experienced macroeconomic shocks at a young age have different political and economic beliefs from people who did not experience such shocks. She will explore attitudes on wealth redistribution and support for different types of welfare regimes. She will also continue her research looking at the origin of differences in norms about gender roles in society.
Paola Giuliano
University of California, Los Angeles
Visiting Scholar
2016 to 2017
Giuliano will study the effects of culture on the intergenerational mobility of immigrants in the U.S. She will examine the extent to which the cultural values of different national-origin immigrant groups are associated with their varying levels of economic and educational success. She will also look at how cultural beliefs and values can increase or decrease their chances for upward mobility.
Jennifer Glass
University of Texas at Austin
Visiting Scholar
2021 to 2022
Glass will write a book about the unprecedented rise in American mothers’ labor force participation over the last 50 years, examining mothers’ increased economic responsibility for their children in a labor market that is punitive to workers with care responsibilities. Her manuscript will focus on the large proportions of children at risk of relying mostly or exclusively on their mothers' financial support. It will also explore the underlying reasons why employers and the state have decreased their support of children and their primary caregivers.
Phillip Atiba Goff
University of California, Los Angeles
Visiting Scholar
2008 to 2009
Phillip Atiba Goff, Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, will complete a project on racial bias and diversity training in police departments. The Denver Department of Police has granted Goff full access to its force and use of force complaint records. Goff hypothesizes that several under-documented psychological factors help explain the real story behind police bias.
Pinelopi Koujinou Goldberg
Princeton University
Visiting Scholar
1998 to 1999
Pinelopi Koujinou Goldberg, assistant professor of economics at Princeton University, will investigate how the growth in international trade has affected American workers of different skill levels. Goldberg uses the exchange rate, which has varied considerably and is highly correlated with import prices, as a measure of trade levels, and draws parallels with changes in American wages and employment. She examines which workers have lost jobs and why, the relative length of unemployment, and the sources of new jobs.
Miriam Golden
University of California, Los Angeles
Visiting Scholar
2000 to 2001
Miriam A. Golden, professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, will analyze the causes of political corruption in Italy from 1948 to 1994. In recent years, scholars have unveiled the networks of corruption in Italian politics, but they have not explained why such widespread corruption persisted in a relatively wealthy democracy.
Claudia Goldin
Harvard University
Visiting Scholar
1997 to 1998
Claudia Goldin, professor of economics at Harvard University, program director for the Development of the American Economy, and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and Lawrence F. Katz, professor of economics at Harvard University and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, conducted historical research into the impact of technological and educational developments on the American economy during the years 1910 to 1960.
Noreen Goldman
Princeton University
Visiting Scholar
2018 to 2019
Goldman and Anne Pebley will analyze longitudinal data on Latino health outcomes, focusing on how factors such as documentation status and occupational segregation affect the physical wellbeing of immigrants and native-born Latinos. They will also examine the extent to which the recession affected immigrants’ health and the extent to which the risk of deportation for undocumented individuals changed during the Obama administration.
Seth K. Goldman
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Visiting Scholar
2025 to 2026
Goldman will examine how people of color respond to and understand popular media narratives about demographic changes, particularly the “majority-minority” shift, in which people of color are predicted to become the numerical majority. His project will consist of media content analysis and a nationally representative panel survey with large samples of Asian, Black, Latino, multiracial, and White Americans conducted by Goldman and an interdisciplinary team of researchers.
Pilar Gonalons-Pons
University of Pennsylvania
Visiting Scholar
2021 to 2022
Gonalons-Pons will conduct the first comprehensive comparative study of the feminization and devaluation of paid and unpaid childcare and eldercare. Drawing on survey data on care work that covers 30 countries and spans four decades, she will examine how women came to perform most care work, leading to severe economic penalties for those who perform such work.
Colin Gordon
University of Iowa
Visiting Scholar
2022 to 2023
Gordon will work on a book examining racial restrictions on property in the city and county of St. Louis. He will use a mixed methods approach that combines archival work with property records, statistical analysis of race-restrictions in these records, and digital mapping of these restrictions to explore their origins, spread, and impact on racial and spatial inequality.
Linda Gordon
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Visiting Scholar
1997 to 1998
Linda Gordon, professor of History and Vilas Research Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, worked on a book manuscript entitled An Orphan Story: Family, Race and Vigilantism in Arizona, 1904. Drawing on a turn of the century conflict over cross-racial adoption near the Mexican-U.S. border, Gordon explored the construction of Mexican/Anglo racial prejudices and the eruption of vigilantism founded on attitudes of white moral superiority and good citizenship.
Janet C. Gornick
Graduate Center, City University of New York
Visiting Scholar
1999 to 2000
Janet C. Gornick, assistant professor of political science at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, will author a book on public policies that support the employment of mothers with young children. The United States lags behind the rest of the industrialized world in providing child care services, family leave schemes, employment protection for part-time workers, and public school schedules that suit working mothers. Mothers are thus forced into unstable working patterns that may contribute to the strikingly high rates of child poverty in this country.
Heidi Gottfried
Wayne State University
Visiting Scholar
2025 to 2026
Gottfried and Ruth Milkman will examine the complexities of the fast-growing U.S. home care labor market. They will compare formal employment in the Medicaid-funded market segment, formal employment in the privately paid segment, and the 'gray market,' in which clients hire home care workers through informal networks and pay them directly. The project draws on original interviews and survey data collected by Gottfried and Milkman.
Marie Gottschalk
University of Pennsylvania
Visiting Scholar
2001 to 2002
Marie Gottschalk, assistant professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, will study the political factors behind the increase in mass imprisonment in the United States. While the incarceration rate in the United States remained remarkably stable for much of the twentieth century, it took a sharp upward turn in 1973, and it has increased by about 500 percent since then. Penal policies have also become far more restrictive, with punishment rather than rehabilitation as the stated goal.
Peter Gottschalk
Boston College
Visiting Scholar
1996 to 1997
Peter Gottschalk, professor of economics at Boston College, spent a semester at Russell Sage gathering material that would support his argument that technological change has been an important cause of the increasing inequality in the distribution of income. In new empirical work, he examined technological change in various industries, linking it with census data on employment and wage patterns in these industries.
Roger V. Gould
Yale University
Visiting Scholar
2001 to 2002
Roger V. Gould, professor of sociology at Yale University, will write a book on the structural origins of group violence. Gould's research suggests that violent behavior is not only an expression of deviant personality or cultural complexes but is also related to the overall structure of a relationship. Gould hypothesizes that violence is particularly likely to occur when parties have not clearly established who is dominant. While individuals assert rank by exhibiting courage or strength of character, groups claim rank through displays of cohesiveness.
Peter Gourevitch
University of California, San Diego
Visiting Scholar
2005 to 2006
Peter Gourevitch, Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego, will write a book examining the differing levels of managerial oversight employed by institutional investors in four different countries. He will explore the incentives these financial institutions have to monitor managers and the political structures under which they operate. He will examine debates over minority shareholder protection, and the ways in which ideology, interest groups, and politics influence shareholder rights policies.
Ruth W. Grant
Duke University
Visiting Scholar
2009 to 2010
Ruth W. Grant, professor of political science and philosophy and senior fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University, will write a book exploring how incentives are related to the use and abuse of power in institutions, including an examination of the history of incentive systems and the ethical principles governing their use in various policy arenas.
