Ellen Reinhart

Ellen Reinhart (she/her) is a Ph.D. candidate in the Social Area of the Department of Psychology working with Hazel Markus. Ellen’s research investigates how ideas about what it means to contribute to society privileges ways of helping others that are relatively more common in higher social class contexts (e.g., volunteering) over the forms of good relatively more common in lower social class contexts (e.g., caring for family members). With support from PACS, Ellen will examine the implications of this disparity on support for redistribution policies and political engagement.
