As the daughter of Lutheran ministers who was raised in Japan, Pedersen brings a unique perspective to the societal conventions that are her area of study.
Her first book, "Family Dependence and Origins of the Welfare State", received critical acclaim in 1993.

A biological anthropologist by trade and a curator of human biology in the Peabody Museum, Ellison says his varied experience will help him in his new post.
Lewis underlined Ellison's broad-based experience in discussing his qualifications, adding that he would "be a force for constructive thought in this time of change for graduate education."
