Sophia Dowling - Incite at Columbia University

Sophia Dowling is a Project Coordinator at Incite. 

Prior to joining Incite in 2025, Sophia was the Project Manager for the Racial Restrictive Covenants Project in the University of Washington’s History Department, where she oversaw a state-funded archival research initiative to document the history of racial housing exclusion in Washington State. 

Sophia graduated from the University of Washington in 2022 with a double major in History and the Comparative History of Ideas. Her undergraduate thesis, "Corporate Consumer Curriculum: Elementary Education and the Individualization of Environmentalism", explored the economic and political landscape of the American education system alongside the rise of environmental curriculum. 

Outside of work she writes a newsletter about the intersections between fashion history, environmental sustainability, and consumer culture and enjoys cooking elaborate meals for her friends.
