Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman is a third-year doctoral candidate at Harvard Kennedy School studying public policy and economics. She currently studies inequality in workplace and academic settings by using experiments and large administrative data sets to examine how accountability mechanisms affect decision-making and, ultimately, outcomes for communities at the intersection of race, gender, and class.

Her research interests lie in understanding whether organizations respond to interventions and accountability efforts, how they respond, and the impact of these responses on marginalized communities within and outside of organizations. At present, she is a doctoral fellow for the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation Fellow, and Harvard Kennedy School’s Women and Public Policy Center, The People Lab, and the Stone Program in Wealth Distribution, Inequality & Social Policy.
