Kasey Henricks studies how racial inequalities are reproduced over time through institutional arrangements sponsored by public finance. Henricks is lead author of "State Looteries: Historical Continuities, Rearticulations of Racism, and American Taxation" (Routledge, 2017), and he has written twelve articles that have appeared in journals such as Social Problems, Sociological Forum, and Symbolic Interaction. Several of these contributions have been featured in media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Forbes. Henricks has also been funded by the National Science Foundation, Law and Society Association, and Chicago Community Trust. Prior to becoming an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Tennessee, Henricks was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Illinois at Chicago's Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy, and a law and social science fellow at the American Bar Foundation.
