About Me

My name is Dr. Shaquilla Harrigan, and I graduated with my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2025. I'm a research affiliate at the Penn Program on Race, Science, and Society teach courses at the University of West Georgia. Currently, I'm on the academic job market.

Before starting graduate school, I built a strong foundation in public service at the Phillips Brooks House Center for Engaged Scholarship and was a Princeton in Africa Fellow with AWARD in Nairobi, Kenya.

Off the academic stage, I embrace a world bursting with creativity. From sewing to embroidery, painting to hand-lettering, and pottery to gymnastics, I am a woman of many magnificent colors, constantly in pursuit of cultivating and expanding my creative spectrum. Join me as I weave my narrative, one insightful study and crafted masterpiece at a time.
