ABOUT Ernest J. Quarles
JHU Faculty Member | African American Policy Forum Board Member

Ernest J. Quarles is an attorney, intersectional critical race researcher, and historian who teaches at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. His courses focus on deficits in America’s storytelling, erased and marginalized histories, and U.S. racial history. Within those spaces, his methodology embraces intersectional frames and other critical lenses and, in so doing, enables truly transformational learning. Quarles began his study of race matters under the late Hon. Leon A. Higginbotham while studying at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He is also a graduate of Brown University. 

He currently sits on the board of The African American Policy Forum and works on several initiatives which impact and support the development of truth narratives to counteract mainstream narratives about race and social justice.  This unique space has enabled him to provide students with a more holistic view of the world that is rooted in empathy and a view of research that informs social activism as a moral imperative.
