- Non-Resident Fellow
Renae Wilkinson, Ph.D., is a sociologist and research associate whose work examines how social resources and adverse life conditions shape health and well-being across the life course. She completed her doctoral training at Baylor University. Her current research spans three core areas: (1) analyzing how social factors and life adversities influence long-term health outcomes using large-scale cohort studies, (2) leading projects within the Global Flourishing Study that explore the role of social relationships and adversity in promoting human flourishing across cultural contexts, and (3) investigating the relationship between homelessness and health, with a focus on identifying protective resources that buffer the effects of housing insecurity.
