After an accident last Memorial Day left me with post-concussive syndrome and other injuries, I wasn't sure I'd graduate this spring, let alone find a job. But God! I'm now Dr. Mitchell and will be joining Duke's Sanford School of Policy as an Asst. Prof. this fall. So grateful!
Excited to share my op-ed on California's legacy admissions ban, discussing how this shifting standard moves the goalposts for upwardly mobile Black families.

I’m grateful for this feature and honored to join the Sanford and Duke community to further study how we can use education to drive equity, justice, and social progress.

Happy to share that I am joining the faculty at Harvard University! I’ve accepted a TT position as an Assistant Professor in Studies of Women, Gender, & Sexuality and I start this fall on a fellowship. I’m so thrilled to continue my work on Togolese women’s history at Harvard.
It never ceases to amaze me the nooks and crannies that inequality will find. @_AdrienneCJ_ I always appreciate work like yours that compels us to contend with understudied areas of inequality and the following outcomes
You’d be surprised how many suspended drivers experience clerical errors as they pursue driver’s license restoration. A non-trivial number of the drivers I interviewed for my dissertation described how these errors ultimately keep them in suspended status long-term.
I’m deeply affected when I think of society’s many ways of short changing and robbing youth of their childhoods. Schools should work to enhance & fulfill childhood. In addition to educating, it takes radical intentionality to protect youth from society’s harm in its many forms.
