Areas of Interest:

 
life course and aging inequality, race/ethnic and gender stratification, social demography, health disparities, wealth mobility, and quantitative methods
 

Dr. Brown’s program of research utilizes life course perspectives and methods to investigate how ascriptive characteristics such as race/ethnicity and gender affect health and wealth. This research interest takes shape in three distinct research projects. The first project examines how race/ethnicity and the intersection of race/ethnicity with immigration and gender impact health trajectories. The second project uses multiple longitudinal data sets to investigate how dynamic processes of wealth accumulation vary by race/ethnicity, resulting in increasing wealth inequality across the life course. The final project extends his research on racial/ethnic and gender inequality by considering group differences in the effects of social and economic factors on health and wealth trajectories.
