Devah Pager is an American sociologist best known for her research on racial discrimination in employment and the American criminal justice system. She is currently Professor of Sociology and Public Policy at Harvard University.〔(Harvard University Department of Sociology )〕 Pager earned her doctorate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002. Prior to that she received Masters degrees from Stanford University and the University of Cape Town in South Africa. As part of her doctoral dissertation research Pager conducted an experiment in which she enlisted young men to pose as job applicants with similar characteristics. She found that a black applicant received a callback or job offer half as often as an equally qualified white applicant. A black applicant with a clean record got a callback or job offer about as often as a white applicant with a felony conviction. She later replicated the experiment in New York City and found similar results. The dissertation was awarded the "Best Dissertation Prize" by the American Sociological Association〔(American Sociological Association Dissertation Award Recipient )〕 and was later published as a series of articles〔("The Mark of a Criminal Record." ''American Journal of Sociology'' )〕 and a book, ''Marked: Race, Crime, and Finding Work in an Era of Mass Incarceration'' (University of Chicago Press, 2007). Pager's work has been widely featured in the media, including the ''New York Times'',〔("When a Dissertation Makes a Difference )," 3/20/04, Brooke Kroeger, ''New York Times''〕〔"Study Shows More Job Offers for Ex-Convincts Who Are White," 6/17/05, Paul von Zielbauer, ''New York Times''〕〔"Even Now, There's Risk in 'Driving While Black,'" 6/15/2009, Brent Staples, ''New York Times''〕 the ''Wall Street Journal'',〔"Racial Discrimination Is Still at Work," 9/4/03, David Wessel, ''The Wall Street Journal''〕〔"Prison Record Looms Larger as an Obstacle to Advancement," 6/22/05, Greg Ip, ''The Wall Street Journal''〕 the ''Chicago Tribune'',〔"Black Men's Pay in Top Jobs Lags," 8/15/2001, Quynh-Giang Tran, ''The Chicago Tribune''〕 and in CNN's documentary ''Black in America.''〔(CNN's ''Black in America'' )〕 ==Selected bibliography== * Pager, Devah. 2003. “The Mark of a Criminal Record.” ''American Journal of Sociology'' 108(5):937-975.〔(Jstor.org )〕 * Pager, Devah, Bruce Western, and Bart Bonikowski. 2009.
