Biography

Doron Shiffer-Sebba researches the intersection of extended families and economic inequality. His work focuses on how elite wealthy families organize wealth, the role of extended families in economic inequality within the broader U.S. population, and the development of novel computational methods to analyze how people use their bodies in social interactions. Doron employs a wide array of methodological perspectives including ethnographic, quantitative, and computational approaches. He is currently working on an ethnographic book manuscript that exposes the structural forces that hinder economic elites from mitigating inequality. Prior to joining Northwestern's sociology department, he completed his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern.
