Bio
Dr. Adam Lippert is a sociologist and demographer whose research centers on (1) understanding the role that contexts (e.g., schools, neighborhoods) play in shaping human health and health behaviors, (2) examining the contribution of work-family circumstances to health and family well-being, and (3) exploring the mechanisms linking long-term exposure to disadvantage and declining health over the life course. He completed his PhD at the Pennsylvania State University in 2013 and postdoctorate at Harvard University through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars program (2013-15). He enjoys working with students who share his interests and welcomes the chance to discuss student-led projects related to health, demography, and quantitative methods.
