Economist/Inequality Researcher 
and 4th Great-granddaughter of Biddy Mason

Welcome to my webpage! I am an assistant professor in the School of Public Policy at UC Riverside. I am an economist with interest in the intersection of the criminal legal system and inequality. Specifically, I am interested in the racial, economic, political, health, and social consequences of criminal legal policies (e.g., mass incarceration).

I am also the second oldest living descendant of Biddy Mason, an extraordinary Black American Hero, also known as the Grandmother of Los Angeles.

Please browse through my site to learn more about me and my research. If you would like to contact me my email is robynn.cox@ucr.edu and my Twitter handle is @RobynnCox.
