Professional profile
Beth Tarasawa is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at St. Norbert College. Her broad teaching and research interests include race and ethnic relations, the sociology of education, and urban sociology. Her specialization in racial inequality in education is connected to broader areas within the field of stratification including poverty, labor market participation, residential segregation, and the intersections of race, ethnicity, and class.
Professor Tarasawa’s recent research examines the implementation of language assistance programs for English Language Learners in public high schools. Additionally, she is involved in a collaborative research project which studies how race, human and social capital, and school context affect college-preparatory course taking. Beyond traditional academic approaches to research, she has also worked on multiple university-community partnership projects developed to mobilize research resources to assist local community organizations.
