Rice sociologist’s journey from simple curiosity to NSF-backed research reveals how physical infrastructure shapes inequality

Rice University
Grant and Award Announcement

Elizabeth Roberto, a sociologist at Rice University, has received a $500,000 CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to study how physical infrastructure—such as dead-end streets, highways, and railroad tracks—contributes to racial and economic inequality in U.S. cities. Inspired by patterns she first noticed while living in New Haven, Connecticut, Roberto is using satellite imagery, historical archives, and AI to map how built environments can reinforce segregation and limit access to opportunity. The project will span 50 cities and culminate in an interactive web platform to inform research, education, and community understanding.
