University of Kansas Sociology Department 722 Fraser Hall Lawrence, KS 66045 hill@ku.edu 785.864.9405 My research focuses primarily on families, health/health care, and social inequalities. I am interested in understanding the dynamics of family life within African American families and how those dynamics are shaped by larger social structural forces. I have also recently begun to look at African immigration to the US and the African diaspora in general in terms of how it affects gender/kinship among black people.
