Anderson selected as fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
Carol Anderson, Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies, is one of five distinguished scholars being inducted as Fellows of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS) in 2021. The AAPSS inducts a new cohort of Fellows each year, in recognition of contributions that advance science and deepen public understanding of human behavior and social dynamics.
Anderson’s work focuses on public policy, particularly on how domestic and international policies intersect through the issues of race, justice, and equality in the U.S. Her research examines how policy is made and unmade, and how racial inequality and racism affect policy processes and outcomes.

Two University of Chicago scholars have earned prestigious Sloan Research Fellowships, which recognize early-career scholars’ potential to make substantial contributions to their fields.
This year’s UChicago winners include a molecular engineer who seeks to develop new ways of engineering large, complex quantum systems, and an economist who studies global currency and fixed income markets, financial regulations, and emerging market finance.
Awarded since 1955 to the brightest young scientists across the United States and Canada, the two-year Sloan Fellowships are one of the most competitive and prestigious awards available to early-career researchers. This year’s 128 winners, announced Feb. 16, will receive two-year fellowships in the amount of $75,000 to further their innovative research.
