In recognition of “contributions that advance science and deepen public understanding of human behavior and social dynamics,” Rucker Johnson, the Chancellor’s Professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy, has been named a fellow in the 2021 class of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS).
Johnson is a labor economist who specializes in the economics of education and examines the role of poverty and inequality in affecting life chances. He is the author of the book Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works, which draws on decades-long studies to show that school integration measurably improved life outcomes for poor children while benefiting all children involved.
