Carol Stack received her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Illinois, Urbana and is currently a professor in the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley. She conducts research on urban youth, migration, rural and urban families, service sector employment, and other facets of the social context of education.
