Corey Fields

Corey Fields is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology. Corey's main interests are race, identity, and culture. Within those areas, his research is driven by an interest in the role of identity – at both the individual and collective level – in structuring social life across a range of contexts. His current research project, “Black Elephants in the Living Room: Race and the Unexpected Politics of African-American Republicans,” uses the experiences of African-American Republicans to explore the dynamic relationship between race and political behavior in contemporary U.S. politics. He uses a range of methods to analyze the role of identity in social life, including ethnography, interviews, and secondary analysis of survey data.
