Audrey Devine Eller

I am a cultural sociologist with interests in education and theories of everyday life. My research focus is on teenagers' transitions in and out of educational systems, with a growing interest in carceral systems as well. I study how daily interactions reproduce or disrupt inequalities. Currently, I'm writing about how high school students make post-secondary decisions  (such as where and whether to go to college). This research is based on more than six years of NSF-funded qualitative research in New Jersey high schools.

I am an assistant professor of sociology at College of St. Scholastica. Before that, I was visiting assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at Grinnell College. I received my Ph.D. in 2012 from the Department of Sociology at Rutgers University, with a graduate certificate in Women's and Gender Studies, and my BA in philosophy and sociology from Seattle University.

I teach introduction to sociology, statistics, sociology of health, and other things (sociology of education, culture, self & society, school-to-prison pipeline,sociological theory, qualitative & quantitative methods) whenever my schedule allows.
