Biography
Ansley Erickson is a Ph.D. candidate in U.S. history focusing on education, social policy and metropolitan history. Her dissertation, "Schooling the Metropolis: Economic Growth and Educational Inequity, Nashville, TN, 1945-1985," reveals how private and public agendas for economic growth and spatial transformations in the city made and maintained educational inequity despite the district's relative success at statistical desegregation. An article based on a portion of her dissertation research is forthcoming in the Journal of Urban History, June 2010.
Ansley's work has been supported by a Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship (2007-2009), an ISERP/Mellon Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (2007-2009) and an Eisenhower Institute/Clifford Roberts Fellowship (2009-2010).
Prior to her graduate study at Columbia, Ansley was a high school history teacher and ethnographic researcher in New York City schools. She has experience in historical documentary film and public history consulting. Ansley received her B.A. in Political Science and Educational Studies magna cum laude from Brown University.
