WE GOT US NOW #KeepFamiliesConnected campaign series

WELCOME to Season 4 of the WE GOT US NOW Podcast series POWERED by The Just Trust

HOSTED by Ebony Underwood

For our 6th annual #KeepFamiliesConnected multimedia campaign series that runs from Mother's Day through Father's Day, WE spotlight voices from our community, and uplift our allies working across the field to create a just and equitable society that seeks to keep justice-impacted families connected.


Anna R. Haskins is the Andrew V. Tackes Associate Professor of Sociology and Associate Director of Notre Dame's Initiative on Race and Resilience (IRR). Her research examines how three of America’s most powerful social institutions—the education system, the family, and the criminal justice system—connect and interact in ways that both preserve and mitigate social inequality, with emphasis on early educational outcomes, intergenerational impacts, and disparities by race/ethnicity. Her work has been published in the American Sociological Review, Sociology of Education and Social Science Research, among other scholarly outlets, and she is co-editor of a recent book – When Parents are Incarcerated: Interdisciplinary Research and Interventions to Support Children (2018, APA Press). Her research focuses on how a parent’s incarceration impacts how they interact with schools and its impact on a child’s educational outcomes. Anna is a former elementary school teacher and prior to coming to Notre Dame she was an assistant professor of sociology at Cornell University. In February 2024, Notre Dame Student Government awarded Haskins the Black Excellence Faculty Award to honor her work as an outstanding Black community member.


In this episode, Anna shares about her research on children and youth with incarcerated fathers and highlights their optimism, hope and resilience, and the dampening effect that hampers their view of success due to lack of access to resources.
