Charles Crabtree

About

I’m an expert on discrimination, focusing on measuring it in new contexts and sometimes for understudied identity groups, developing better methodological approaches for studying it, and finding ways of decreasing it. My interest in discrimination stems both from my own life experiences and my earlier work on censorship and human rights. Researching censorship taught me how to understand better what attitudes and actions people conceal and why, and studying human rights showed me that while most countries ostensibly guarantee human rights, these rights are not provided equally across groups. In the past, I’ve published work documenting and explaining discrimination against a wide range of identity groups, including those defined by disability, ethnicity, gender, nativity, race, and religion. Moving forward, I’m primarily focused on studying class-based discrimination. Growing up in poverty - without a home and then in a trailer park - taught me much about the role of class and money in politics and society. While cash rules everything around us (with apologies to the Wu-Tang Clan), this topic remains largely ignored in political science. Most of my work uses field or survey experiments and has focused primarily on the United States. To put my work there in a broader perspective and better understand the global variation we see in how people treat each other, I also work across an increasingly expansive set of cases with projects in Eastern Europe, India, Japan, and South America.
