<p>Dalton Conley is currently director of the center for Advanced Social Research
(CASSR) and Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at New York University.
Prior to joining the faculty of NYU, he taught in the Departments of Sociology
and African American Studies at Yale University.</p>
<p>His scholarly research focuses on how socio-economic status is transmitted
across generations and the public policies which affect that process. In this
vein, he studies racial inequalities, the measurement of class and social status,
and how health and biology affect (and are affected by) social position. He
has written or edited several books and numerous articles on these topics.<br>
</p>
<p>Conley has written for The New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine, Le Monde
Diplomatique, The Nation, Urban Latino Magazine, Salon, Feed Magazine, and various
other trade publications. In these essays, he has addressed some of the same
themes that emerge in his academic work; he has also written personal essays,
opinion pieces and straightforward reporting. In addition to his research-related
writing, he has authored a memoir, entitled," Honky". He is currently
at work on a book entitled "The Pecking Order: Which Siblings Succeed",
"Which Don’t and Why" to be published by Pantheon (cloth) and
Vintage Books (paper) tentatively in the Fall of 2003. </p>
