Stefanie Deluca is a sociologist and the James Coleman Professor of Sociology[1] at Johns Hopkins University.[2] She co-wrote the book, Coming of Age in the Other America.[3][4] Deluca received her Ph.D. in Human Development and Social Policy at Northwestern University in 2002 and bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Chicago.

Professional activity

[edit]

Dr. DeLuca’s research uses sociological perspectives to inform education and housing policy. She has conducted mixed-methods studies that incorporate qualitative research into experimental or quasi-experimental designs. Some of her work focuses on the long-term effects of programs to help public housing residents relocate to safer neighborhoods and better schools through housing vouchers.[citation needed]

DeLuca co-authored a book about the transition to adulthood for youth in Baltimore, Coming of Age in the Other America (with Susan Clampet-Lundquist and Kathryn Edin). The book was named an Outstanding Academic Title from the American Library Association[5][6] and the William F. Goode Award from the American Sociological Association.[7] She was awarded a William T. Grant Foundation Scholars Award to study residential mobility, neighborhoods and family life among very poor families in the South.[8][9]

Her work has been funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the National Science Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Abell Foundation, the National Academy of Education, the American Educational Research Association and the Department of Education.

In March 2006, DeLuca testified in federal court on behalf of the plaintiffs in the Baltimore Thompson v. HUD[10] housing desegregation case, using her research on housing programs as the basis for her testimony.[11][12]

DeLuca has presented her work as part of an exhibit at the National Museum of American History.[13] She previously served on a MacArthur Foundation research network on the effects of housing on young children, is a fellow at The Century Foundation,[14] and is a member of the policy advisory board at The Reinvestment Fund.[15]

Stefanie DeLuca was recently named Scholar of the Year by the National Alliance of Resident Services in Assisted and Affordable Housing.[13]

In the wake of the 2015 Baltimore Protests (in reaction to the Death of Freddie Gray), significant national attention was paid to work, such as DeLuca’s, which studies housing policy among the systemic problems facing the City of Baltimore.[16][17][18]
