Erin L. Thomas named ISPS Fellow

Erin L. Thomas has just been named a Policy Fellow of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale (ISPS). The program, which is in its inaugural year, provides students with a stipend, exclusive access to research funds, and the opportunity to meet with prominent Yale faculty and guests working on policy-relevant issues who will provide training in skills like op-ed and policy proposal writing and media appearances. Finally, fellows will develop policy papers for the ISPS briefing series and work on projects they develop in conjunction with ISPS. Erin was chosen for her dissertation research, which involves an examination of the political invisibility of Black women.
