Hannah Tessler
Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Michigan

My research and teaching interests lie in inequalities tied to gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, family, and education. I employ both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to examine the life course, with a focus on traditional markers in the transition to adulthood, such as union formation and higher education. My dissertation investigates the experiences of single adults and how they navigate their relationships, and has been funded by a 2023 NSF/ASA Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant.

My work is published in peer-reviewed academic journals including Ethnic and Racial Studies, Sexualities, Journal of Family Issues, Journal of Family Theory and Review, Social Currents, Sociology Compass, The Journal of Higher Education, International Review of Education, American Journal of Criminal Justice, Journal of School Violence, Victims and Offenders, and Research in Social Stratification and Mobility.
