We are thrilled to announce that sociology professor Whitney Pirtle has been named MacArthur Foundation Chair in International Justice and Human Rights. Whitney’s critical understanding of race and racism, her research on health disparities, and her engagement with racially marginalized students are being recognized as path breaking, innovative, and disruptive of inequality. Dr. Pirtle is the first Black faculty, first sociology faculty, and the first assistant professor at UCM to receive this honor. More details forthcoming!
Please join us in congratulating Whitney on this global recognition of her accomplishments and contributions!
