Janice M. McCabe

I teach courses about gender, youth, education, social problems, and research methods. My recent book (The University of Chicago Press), Connecting in College: How Friendship Networks Matter for Academic and Social Success, explores how undergraduates' friendships help and hinder their success during and after college. Through my research, I investigate how gender, race/ethnicity, class, and sexuality operate as social identities and how they shape social networks.
