Tiffany Joseph
Associate Professor, Sociology, Northeastern University
Northeastern University
Dr. Joseph joined the Northeastern Sociology faculty in 2018 after being assistant professor at Stony Brook University from 2013 to 2018. Prior to that, she was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Scholar at Harvard University. Her research explores individual-level consequences of public policy, immigrants’ health and healthcare access, comparative frameworks of race and migration in the Americas, and the experiences of faculty of color and women in academia. Her current book project explores how shifting immigration and health policies under the Obama and Trump administrations influence Boston Latinx immigrants’ healthcare access. She assesses how race, ethnicity, and documentation status reconfigure experiences of discrimination and inequality in the healthcare system and broader society and their implications for other marginalized groups. She is also author of Race on the Move: Brazilian Migrants and the Global Reconstruction of Race (2015, Stanford Press) and has received research funding from various foundations.
