Ashley P. Finley
(on leave 2008-2009)
Assistant Professor of Sociology (2003)
B.A., University of Nebraska (1995); M.A., University of Iowa (1997); Ph.D., University of Iowa (2003).
Professor Finley's broad areas of specialty are Social Stratification and Gender. Her research interests focus on labor markets and gender with an emphasis on the global economy and poverty, particularly in Latin America. Her dissertation examined the question of whether women-headed households in Mexico are indeed the “poorest of the poor”? The goal of this research (and her research agenda) is to broaden how we view poverty by looking at deprivation across multiple types of resource capital beyond just income, such as household amenities, and social support. Additionally, this view of deprivation is used to suggest the relative exposure or vulnerability to poverty of women-headed households relative to other household types.
