Dissertation: Just Gotta Make It: Black Social Mobility Paths Beyond the Bachelor's Degree
 
As a scholar of race, class and inequality, Jasmine's work interrogates the social mobility strategies available to people of color beyond higher education. Her dissertation project applies a mixed methods approach to study how low-income opportunity seekers perceive and strategize around upward mobility in comparison to how middle class jobs have changed over time.
