Dr. Rob Eschmann is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Columbia University. Dr. Eschmann writes on educational inequality, community violence, racism, social media, and youth wellbeing. His research seeks to uncover individual, group, and institutional-level barriers to racial and economic equity, and he pays special attention to the heroic efforts everyday people make to combat those barriers. Dr. Eschmann’s research also investigates the effects of online experiences on real-world outcomes. From his work on the relationship between online communication and community violence, to his current work on race and racism in the digital era, his research bridges the gap between virtual and face-to-face experiences. Dr. Eschmann is the author of a new book, When the Hood Comes Off: Racism and Resistance in the Digital Era (University of California Press, 2023), which systematically explores the ways online communication has changed the expressions of racism.
