About
Sarah Sullivan is a PhD student in sociology, predoctoral trainee in the Population Studies Center, and Rackham Merit Fellow at the University of Michigan. Her research considers processes of family (re)making throughout the life course, in relation to class, inequality, and economic mobility. She is interested in using mixed-methods to explore demographic subgroup trends in fertility, marriage, and cohabitation. A separate line of Sarah’s research analyzes postsecondary educational trajectories to consider how young adults navigate the transition to adulthood.
Sarah earned her B.A. in Economics and International Studies from Johns Hopkins University. She is an affiliate of the Poverty and Inequality Research Lab, where she works on The Community Study, a project that collects life history interviews to identify mechanisms of economic mobility.
