Cybelle Fox received a B.A. in history and economics from UC San Diego in 1997 and a Ph.D. in sociology and social policy from Harvard University in 2007. Fox's main research interests include race and ethnic relations, the American welfare state, immigration, historical sociology, political sociology, public opinion research, and health policy. She is currently working on a book manuscript that examines the role of race and immigration in the development of the early American welfare state by comparing the extension of social citizenship to Mexicans, European immigrants, and Blacks in the first half of the twentieth century. Her work has appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, Sociology of Education, Political Science Quarterly, and Sociological Methods and Research. She is also co-author of Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings (Basic Books, 2004).
From August 2007 through July of 2009, Fox will be based primarily in UC Berkeley's School of Public Health as a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Research Postdoctoral Scholar where she will investigate the role of race and immigration in the politics of American health policy provision. Immediately following the Program, she will officially join the Sociology Department as an Assistant Professor.
