Tressie McMillan Cottom

Woman. Friend. Daughter. Scholar. Armchair activist. Hell-raiser. Not particularly in that order.

I employ mixed methods to examine why students choose for-profit colleges, if for-profit credentials are socially construed as legitimate, and what these interactions means for social mobility and labor outcomes across and within national contexts.

I'm also very fond of Dolly Pardon, fancy coffee, juicing, brunch, and the Delta blues.
