Autor

William A. Sampson is associate professor of Public Policy at DePaul University. He grew up in a relatively poor, but distinctly middle class family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both parents constantly stressed achievement, discipline, and education, and Dr. Sampson went on to receive degrees from Howard University, The University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, and The Johns Hopkins University (Ph.D., Social Relations). Professor Sampson has put these concerns together in his recent research on the impact of the family on poor black and Latino families. His students have been critical in helping shape his thinking about poor non-white families in his research.
