Anderson is the Charles and William L. Day Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, where he has taught since 1975. An expert on the sociology of black America, he is the author of the widely regarded sociological work "A Place on the Corner: A Study of Black Street Corner Men" (1978) and numerous articles on the black experience, including "Of Old Heads and Young Boys: Notes on the Urban Black Experience" (1986). His article "Code of the Streets" was the cover story in the May 1994 issue of the Atlantic Monthly. Anderson's most recent book, "The Code of the Street: Decency, Violence and the Moral Life of the Inner City" (1999), is an expanded version of the Atlantic Monthly article.
Anderson received a B.A. degree from Indiana University, an M.A. degree from the University of Chicago, and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, where he was a Ford Foundation Fellow.
