Early life

[edit]

In 1990, Harrington earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from Stanford University.[2] In 1996, Harrington earned a master's degree in sociology from Harvard University, followed by a PhD degree in sociology there in 1999.[2]

Career

[edit]

From 1999 to 2007, Harrington was Assistant Professor of Sociology and Public Policy at Brown University.[2] From 2006 to 2009, she was a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne.[2] She was a professor of economic sociology at the Copenhagen Business School from 2010 to 2018.[2]

In 2017, she faced legal difficulties with the authorities in Denmark about a visa dispute, even though she had been invited to speak as a guest lecturer to the Danish Parliament; the dispute ended eight months later when Denmark changed its laws.[5]

She is an advocate against xenophobia and for the benefits of immigration.[5]

In January 2019, she became a Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.[6]
