M. Evangeline (Evie) Lopoo

Hi! I am a Sociology PhD Candidate at Northwestern University, where I am affiliated with the Institute for Policy Research and the Center for Neighborhood Engaged Research and Science (CORNERS). Currently, I am a visiting researcher at le Centre de Recherche sur les Inégalités Sociales (CRIS) at Sciences Po. My research primarily straddles two interests: 1) how quotidian features of community supervision (probation and parole) impact socioeconomic reintegration; and 2) the military's function as a grantor of social rights to servicemembers.  

Formerly, I was a Research Manager for the Justice Lab at Columbia University.​ My past research reviews rigorously tested social policy interventions to reduce criminal legal system interaction and champions the strategic downsizing of probation and parole systems in the United States.  

I am originally from Syracuse, NY, and attended the University of Virginia for my B.A. in Economics and American Studies.​ You can read my CV here and learn more about ongoing research here.
