Sarah Quinn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Washington, where she is also an affiliate faculty member of Urban@UW and the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies. She obtained her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010. Her research employs historical case studies to explore how political institutions influence the development of financial organizations, technologies, and social classifications. In her book, 'American Bonds: How Credit Markets Shaped the Nation' (Princeton University Press, 2019), she analyzes how U.S. lawmakers have approached land and housing in the context of credit markets and economic opportunity, revealing the complex intersections of financial risk, political conflict, and social redistribution. Quinn's ongoing research continues to examine federal credit programs and the moralized dynamics of American political institutions. She teaches both graduate and undergraduate courses on economic sociology, sociological theory, culture, and qualitative methods. Her academic contributions are supported by fellowships from the University of Michigan Society of Fellows and the Institute for Advanced Study.
