Hannah Ruebeck

My research studies educational and labor market inequalities, using methods and insights from labor and behavioral economics. 

I focus on the ways that psychological and social forces—for example, beliefs about yourself and others, stereotypes, and discrimination—affect students, teachers, and workers and contribute to gender, racial, and other gaps. Another strand of my work studies how beliefs and identity affect political participation. 

I will start as an Assistant Professor at Hamilton College in July 2024.
