Emily Walton, PhD Candidate
I am a doctoral candidate in the sociology department at the University of Washington. Currently, I am working on my dissertation entitled Exploring the Effects of Residential Segregation on Health Outcomes among Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups.
My academic interests include racial and ethnic health inequalities, neighborhood effects, mental health, immigration, and the family.
