Faculty/Staff

Anastasia (Stacy) Mann
Director, Program on Immigration and Democracy

Mann joined the Eagleton Institute of Politics in 2008. She earned a B.A. from Clark University, and a Ph.D. in U.S. History from Northwestern University. She worked at New Jersey Policy Perspective, New Jersey’s affiliate of the D.C.-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, where she was a policy analyst. Her research focused on support for public higher education and the state of immigrant New Jersey.

Mann's dissertation, "All for One, but Most for Some", examined how the push for veterans’ rights during World War II undercut the movement for universal security and, as often as not, drew arbitrary distinctions among groups of hardworking Americans. She began her career at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York City and has taught undergraduates at Northwestern and Princeton. She is a contributor to the Encyclopedia of U.S. Labor and Working Class History (Routledge, 2006).

A graduate of Leadership NJ (Class of 2007), Mann co-chairs the Human Services Commission in Princeton. In 2010 she was appointed to the Governor’s Commission on New Americans where she currently chairs the Education Subcommittee.
