Jean Beaman (she/her) is an associate professor of Sociology in the Ph.D. program at the Graduate Center of The City University of New York (CUNY). She comes to the Graduate Center from University of California-Santa Barbara where she was an associate professor of sociology. She also was previously on faculty at Purdue University and held postdoctoral fellowships at Duke University and the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.
Her research is ethnographic in nature and focuses on race/ethnicity, racism, global migration, and state violence in both France (and Western Europe) and the United States. She is the author of Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France (University of California Press, 2017) as well as numerous articles and book chapters. Her next monograph is an ethnographic examination of antiracist mobilization in France and what she frames as “suspect citizenship” targeting France’s visible minorities. She is also a co-editor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook on Intersectional Approaches to Migration, Gender, and Sexuality (with Gökce Yurdakul, Liza Mügge, Sarah Scuzzarello, and Sirijit Sunanta) and a co-editor of the forthcoming edited volume with IMISCOE, A New Wave of Antiracism in Europe?: Racialized Minorities at the Centre (with Ilke Adam and Mariska Jung).
Professor Beaman is the chair-elect of the ASA section on International Migration (2024-2027). She is also an associate editor of the journal Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power and a corresponding editor for the journal Metropolitics/Metropolitiques. She was a 2022-2023 fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and a co-PI for the Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar grant “Race, Precarity, and Privilege: Migration in a Global Context” for 2020-2022 at UCSB.
