Course Instructor

Dr. Shelly L Brown (Ph.D., University of Michigan, 2000) joined the UNCG faculty in August. She is an Assistant Professor in the Sociology Department. Prior to coming to UNCG, she worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Social Organization of Schools housed at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Brown's major research interests are in the area of race and education. Her main focus is on the influence of race, poverty, and school composition effects on the achievement of students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grades. Her current research is focused on the effects of poverty and race on education in the early years to try to understand when, why, and how the educational gap in achievement begins and widens as students continue through the educational process.
