Danielle Raudenbush received her B.A. from Vassar College and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Her research primarily focuses on fundamental questions regarding health and well-being among minorities and low-income populations in the United States. Her recent work, which includes the book titled 'Health Care Books: Poverty, Illness, Strategies Survival Urban America' published by the University of California Press in February 2020, utilizes qualitative methods to examine health care practices among the urban poor. The research specifically investigates how low-income African Americans develop informal network strategies to manage health issues while facing significant barriers to accessing formal health services. This work won the 2020 C. Wright Mills Award and received an Honorable Mention for the 2022 Eliot Freidson Outstanding Publication Award. Currently, she is working on a project that explores how living in the San Diego, California border region shapes the health care experiences of Mexican immigrants, focusing on how this group strategically utilizes health services in Mexico to meet their care needs. Additionally, Dr. Raudenbush is interested in broader questions related to social cohesion among low-income minorities, particularly the role of social relationships in coping with material deprivation.
