Ann Morning<\/a>, Ph.D., is an associate professor of sociology at New York University. She studies race and ethnicity, especially racial classification; multiracial populations; demography; and the sociology of knowledge and science. In her book \u201cThe Nature of Race: How Scientists Think and Teach about Human Difference<\/a>,\u201d Morning explores the ways scientists are influencing ideas about race through teaching and textbooks \u2014 even as the scientific community debates the issue. She also examines how corporations and the government use scientific research in ways that often reinforce the idea that race is biologically determined. Morning holds her Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University.
