Prior to that, she taught for seventeen years at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law and before that, for nine years at the University of Illinois College of Law. She has been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, Georgetown, and Yale. She has also been a guest researcher at Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.[1] Her book, Reproducing Racism: How Everyday Choices Lock In White Advantage was published by New York University Press in 2014.[2] That book argues that racial inequality is perpetuated through a self-reinforcing monopoly of white advantage that is reproduced over time, even without intentional discrimination.[3]
