Associate Professor of Public Policy and History, UMass Amherst

Elizabeth Sharrow (Ph.D & M.P.P.) is Associate Professor of Public Policy and History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst School of Public Policy. Her research explores the politics of Title IX and the ways that public policy shapes understandings of sex and gender at the intersections of race, sexuality, ability, and class. She is currently working on a book manuscript, provisionally titled Allowed to Play but not to Win, which explores the history of sex-segregated athletics under Title IX. She has published research on the politics of fatherhood, and the politics of college sport in the United States. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, and the American Association of University Women, among other sources.
