Anna is about to begin her final year as a doctoral candidate in the Sociology Department at Virginia Tech. She is interested in issues of social inequality and education. She received her B.A. in Communication Studies from Virginia Tech and her M.A. in Sociology from Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA. Her Master's thesis was a sociological examination of the dynamics of heroism (why people put themselves at risk to save others). Her thesis won the university-wide "Best Thesis" competition. Anna left Blacksburg in 1992 to work at MTV in New York City. She then spent some time living in Oakland, CA, Santa Cruz, CA, and Arcata, CA before returning to Blacksburg to start her doctoral program in 1999. Anna has been married to Eric Thomas for 4 years. Eric is a history teacher at Floyd County High School in Floyd, VA.
