Ann Morning's dissertation, entitled "The Nature of Race: Teaching and Learning about Human Difference," studies how definitions of race and racial difference are transmitted today via education in the United States. She uses content analysis of high-school textbooks and interviews with college faculty and undergraduates to investigate the extent to which understandings of race as a biological marker are challenged by competing notions of racial groups as socially constructed. In general, Ann's research interests are in race, demography, sociology of knowledge, and economic and historical sociology.
