Stacey J. Bosick ,Sociology Department, Harvard University





	Stacey J. Bosick Graduate Student in Sociology Biographical Note Stacey J. Bosick earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1999 and a master’s degree in sociology from Harvard University in 2006. Her master’s thesis, “Operationalizing Crime over the Life Course” examines methodological issues related to analysis of the age-crime relationship and is forthcoming in Crime and Delinquency. She is currently working on her doctoral dissertation: Crime and the Transition to Adulthood: A Person-Centered Analysis of At-Risk Boys Coming to Age in 1940s Boston, 1970s London, and 1990s Pittsburgh. This project brings together three well-known criminological datasets in order to study the relationship between criminality and “precarious” transitions to adulthood. Separately, she is engaged in an ongoing research project with Mary C. Waters (Harvard) on The Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the Lives of Community College Students. The project studies the effects of the hurricane on the life course trajectories of students who had been attending community college in New Orleans prior to the disaster in August 2005. With a team of researchers, she recently completed a round of in-depth interviews in Texas and Louisiana and is presently analyzing the data. These projects reflect Stacey’s interest in life course research. She is especially interested in issues of crime and inequality across the life course. 04/17/2008	Contact n/a (Phone) 617-496-5794 (FAX) 574 William James Hall 33 Kirkland Street Cambridge, MA 02138 Office Hours by appointment
