Matthew Desmond is a professor of sociology at Princeton University and author of the award-winning book Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Desmond’s research focuses on poverty in the United States, city life, housing insecurity, public policy, racial inequality, and ethnography. 

Desmond is the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and was listed in 2016 among the Politico 50, as one of “fifty people across the country who are most influencing the national political debate.”
