Education edit
Hochschild received her undergraduate degree from Oberlin College, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.[2]
Career edit
Hochschild was the 2015–2016 President of the American Political Science Association.[3]
In 2019, Hochschild was on the ad hoc committee involved in denying tenure to Lorgia García Peña, an Afro-Latina professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. According to a New Yorker article, Hochschild had characterized Peña's work as "not research, but activism."[4]
In February 2022, Hochschild was one of 38 Harvard faculty to sign a letter to The Harvard Crimson defending professor John Comaroff after he was placed on unpaid leave for violating the university's sexual and professional conduct policies.[5] After Harvard graduate students filed a lawsuit with detailed allegations of Comaroff's sexual harassment, Hochschild and other professors said they wished to retract their signatures.[6]
In January 2024, Hochschild questioned the Harvard credentials of Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist and graduate of Harvard Extension School. Rufo had previously stated that he was a Harvard graduate without mentioning the HES affiliation. Hochschild, who taught courses at HES, wrote on Twitter that the school's students were "great" but "not what we typically normally think of as Harvard graduate students." The Harvard Extension Student Association said that it was "deeply concerned and disappointed" by Hochschild's remarks. Hochschild later apologized for her comments, clarifying that "students should proudly state their HES degree".[7][8]
