He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Harvard University (2000), an M.Phil. in Comparative Social Research from Oxford University (1995), and a B.A. in Sociology from Harvard (1993). Previously, he served as an Assistant Professor at Cornell University, advancing to the Jan Rock Zubrow ’77 Professor in the Social Sciences before joining Johns Hopkins in 2014.
His research focuses on education, inequality, demography, and methodology. Key works include On the Edge of Commitment (2005) and co-authored Counterfactuals and Causal Inference (2007, 2015), foundational texts in causal analysis. He co-leads the General Social Survey (GSS) as a faculty co-PI, analyzing trends in public opinion and social behavior.
Morgan’s teaching spans courses like Public Opinion and Democracy and Cults, Communes, and Conspiracies, emphasizing sociological theory and applied research. His work on Baltimore City crime patterns and electoral dynamics has informed public discourse, as seen in his analysis of the 2016 presidential vote and its cross-pressures among voters.
His contributions to methodological rigor include innovations in causal inference, panel data analysis, and experimental survey design. Collaborative projects with institutions like NORC and Russell Sage Foundation highlight his interdisciplinary impact on social science research.
