Bio

Amy C. Steinbugler's research and teaching focus on neighborhoods, social networks, family, race/ethnicity, stratification, gender, and sexuality. She is interested in how individuals construct and maintain social relationships across systems of inequality. In 2020, with a grant from the Spencer Foundation, she began a mixed-method network study that explores how connected Philadelphia parents are to their neighbors and their neighborhoods. She also collaborates on a longer-term project with colleagues at Bryn Mawr and the University of Pennsylvania on parents' school and neighborhood networks. Dr. Steinbugler is the recipient of the Distinguished Book Award from the Sexualities Section and the William J. Goode Book Award from the Family Section of the American Sociological Association for Beyond Loving: Intimate Racework in Lesbian, Gay, and Straight Interracial Relationships (Oxford University Press). Her writing has been published in Contexts, DuBois Review, Ed Researcher, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Gender and Society, Sexualities and Sociology of Education.
