Lincoln Grey Quillian is an American sociologist. He is currently a professor in the Department of Sociology at Northwestern University, where he is also a faculty fellow at the Institute for Policy Research. His work focuses on social stratification, racial segregation, and racial attitudes.[1][2][3][4] For example, he was the lead author of a 2017 meta-analysis which showed that rates of discrimination against African Americans in field experiments had not significantly changed since 1989.[5]
