Anne Hendershott spent 15 years at the University of San Diego as director of urban studies and chair of the sociology department before coming to King's. During her career as a sociologist, she has specialized in the study of abortion and its relation to politics and religion. She was attracted to The King's College because of its mission of engaging the New York City culture from a committed Christian worldview. |

When not in the classroom, Dr. Hendershott satisfies her curiosity through research and writing. Her articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal and National Review. In addition, she has written several books including The Politics of Abortion, Moving for Work, and The Reluctant Caregivers. She states that she "really enjoys working on collaborative research projects with her King's College students." In the past few years she has collaborated with King's students to publish co-authored pieces in the Wall Street Journal, Catholic World Report and World Magazine. Currently she is co-authoring a book entitled Beyond the Catholic Culture Wars with TKC alum, Christopher White. She often says that she "feels very blessed to have found such a great home at The King's College."
