Dr. Thusi’s research examines social hierarchies related to policing, race, gender, and sexual behavior. Her work has been featured in Harvard Law Review, The Hill, Politico, NYU Law Review, Ebony, and beyond.  

Thusi earned a J.D. from Fordham University School of Law in New York, and a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology and Law & Society from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Thusi’s research is connected to legal experience with the American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Watch, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and recently, The Opportunity Agenda, a social justice communication lab dedicated to lasting policy and culture change. She has clerked for two federal judges, and for a justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa.  

Thusi received a W.E.B. Dubois Fellowship at Harvard University, the Andrew W. Mellon Doctoral Fellowship in the Humanities, was named a Next Generation African Scholar by the Social Science Research Council, and most recently was selected as a Fulbright U.S. Global Scholar for 2020-2022.
