Sarah Hodgman (she/her) is a doctoral student in the Department of Sociology and an affiliate of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform and the Population Studies and Training Center at Brown University. Sarah’s work examines how education and social policies shape the lives of children and families. For example, she is currently using quasi-experimental methods to explore the effects of the Early Head Start program on families’ short-term circumstances (i.e., child care arrangements, parental employment, household income and poverty status) and children’s long-term outcomes (i.e., educational attainment, economic stability, and health and incarceration status). Previously, Sarah worked for the Youth, Family, and Community Development program at the American Institutes for Research. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with focus in Applied Statistics from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and a Master of Arts in Sociology from Brown University.
