Guillermina Jasso (PhD, Johns Hopkins, 1974) is Silver Professor of Arts and Science and Professor of Sociology at New York University.  She was the founding director of the Methods Workshop at New York University (1991-1997) and the Theory Workshop at the University of Iowa (1988-1991), as well as co-founder of the Life Course Center at the University of Minnesota.  Her contributions include a quantitative law describing justice evaluations, a formula showing how overall injustice can be decomposed into injustice due to poverty and injustice due to inequality, linking inequality between persons and inequality between subgroups, two new probability distributions, and a unified sociobehavioral theory with many testable predictions.  Jasso served as Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Director of Research for the U.S. Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy, Principal Investigator for the New Immigrant Survey, and member/Chair of the Census Scientific Advisory Committee.
