Bio:

David Harding studies urban poverty and inequality, incarceration and prisoner reentry, education, and statistical methods for causal inference. His book, Living the Drama: Community, Conflict, and Culture Among Inner-City Boys (University of Chicago Press, 2010), examines the role of neighborhoods in adolescent outcomes related to education and romantic and sexual behavior, focusing on exposure to violence and the cultural context of poor communities. Harding is currently working on projects related to prisoner reentry, the effects of community context on adolescent and young adult romantic relationships, and for-profit colleges and educational inequality. He employs both quantitative and qualitative methods.
