Elizabeth (Liz) Raleigh is Associate Professor of Sociology at Carleton College. She finds meaning through connecting with students and teaching them about family formation and racial inequality. Teaching classes on the sociology of assisted reproduction and adoption and social research methods, Liz leverages her love of mixed-methods research to introduce students to the latest scholarship in these areas. When not in the classroom, she strives to bring the same curiosity and conscientious work ethic to her role as department chair. As a teacher, scholar, and administrator, Liz looks for opportunities to deepen her own and others’ understanding of social inequality and believes that sociology has a role to play in seeking social change. Liz holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania and is the author of the open-access book: Selling Transracial Adoption: Families, Markets, and the Color Line.
