Abbe Herzig's research concerns equity and social justice in mathematics and science. She conducts research on the recruitment and retention of women and underrepresented minority students in mathematics, under a grant from the National Science Foundation. She has developed courses and programs to help diverse populations of students discover the relevance of mathematics and science to their lives. She worked for over 20 years as a statistician, much of that time for Consumer Reports. She has consulted for the United Nations, the Yale School of Medicine, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the Legal Defense Fund of the NAACP.
