Ángel Mendiola Ross

Ángel is a recent doctoral graduate in sociology from the University of California Berkeley and incoming Provostial Fellow at Stanford University. Drawing on computational methods, they conduct research at the intersection of (sub)urban sociology, racial and spatial inequality, incarceration, policing, and housing. Their dissertation revealed the entanglement between two critical and enduring social processes: racial residential segregation and the post-1970 U.S. prison boom. His empirical research on racial and renter threat in California suburbs was recently published in Social Problems. Ángel’s work has received generous support from the Russell Sage Foundation, the Berkeley Center for the Study of Law and Society, and the California Endowment. They received a Master of City Planning from the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley and BAs in sociology and economics from the University of Southern California.
