Eve L. Ewing is a sociologist of education, an assistant professor in the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice, and a writer of nonfiction, poetry, comics, children’s books and plays.

Her book Ghosts in the Schoolyard: Racism and School Closings on Chicago’s South Side (2018) will be followed by the forthcoming Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism.
