Biography

Professor Erickson’s teaching and research interests focus on inequalities related to class, gender, and ethnicity, exploring how these inequalities interact. She studies social networks and their relationship to culture, particularly among consumers and creators in society. One of her recent projects examined the largest ethnic groups in Toronto—White, Black, and Chinese—highlighting concepts such as strong and weak ties within social networks and the effects these ties can have on cultural flows and occupational attainment.
