Biography

Dr. Amoyaw is a sociologist whose research investigates social processes that sustain and reproduce social inequality. His work focuses on understanding the myriad ways social disadvantage accumulates across the life course and generations. He examines social policies, family structure dynamics, social transitions, and social identities that drive socioeconomic and health disparities. His current and future projects focus on the effects of family structures on vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, the intergenerational effects of immigrants' transnational engagements and precarious legal status, and the impact of early family transitions on the well-being of adolescents. Dr. Amoyaw's research brings forth new conceptual and methodological insights that are relevant to scholarship in the dynamics of contexts of social vulnerability and inequality.
