She also serves as senior advisor on Faculty Development and diversity in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. She chaired the Council for European Studies from 2006-2009. She received her doctorate from the University of Paris in 1983. An expert on French racial and class boundaries, her broader scholarly interests center on shared concepts of worth and their impact on hierarchies in a number of social domains. Her most recent publications are How Professors Think: Inside the World of Academic Judgment (Harvard University Press 2009), and Successful Societies: How Culture and Inequality Affect Health (co-edited with Peter Hall, Cambridge University Press, 2009) and The Evaluation of Systematic Qualitative Research in the Social Science (with Patricia White, National Science Foundation, 2008). With the support of grants from the National Science Foundation and the Weatherhead Initiative for International Affairs, she is currently leading an international research project that compares everyday antiracist strategies in Brazil, Israel, and the United States. A former Guggenheim fellow, her research has been supported by the Center for Advanced Research in the Behavioral Sciences, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Institute for Advanced Studies, the Lilly Endowment, the National Science Foundation, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies, the Russell Sage Foundation, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
