Jackelyn Hwang is Associate Professor of Sociology at Stanford's School of Humanities and Sciences and Director of the Changing Cities Research Lab. Jackelyn’s main research interests are in the fields of urban sociology, race and ethnicity, immigration, and inequality. In particular, her research uses innovative data, measures, and methods to answer: how do neighborhood-level dynamics that are typically racialized drive changes in US residential segregation?
As a SIL Design Fellow, Jackelyn's project explored how to reduce persistent racial residential segregation without displacing residents, eroding housing affordability, disrupting communities, or deepening inequality.
