Welcome!

Hello, my name is Helen Webley-Brown. I am a first-year sociology PhD student and CCSRE Emerging Scholar at Stanford University.

You can learn about my academic journey on the about page and teaching page.

If the ideas on my research page interest you, please feel free to reach out to talk more about them or explore possible collaborations. I’m also always happy to talk with people who are considering applying to graduate school. You’ll find my previous application materials on the resources page alongside some suggested reading materials on navigating academia.
