Published stuff: 2019
Dec. 27th, 2019 01:52 pmFor the past several years, I have characterized this year-end post as “the standard account of my publications for the year.” But there was nothing standard about 2019 when it came to publications. The year witnessed the culmination of a major survey, media, and academic publication project called Discrimination in the United States, conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (where I am a senior research scientist), NPR, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. As you will see from the list of academic publications below, we simultaneously interviewed samples of black Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, women, and LGBTQ adults, using parallel questions to measure experiences of discrimination in several institutional and interpersonal domains.
But I’ll start with the sort of publication you are all used to seeing from me.

Journal articles: Special Issue
Ten peer-reviewed articles based on our Discrimination in the United States survey were published in a special issue of HSR: Health Services Research in December 2019. All of the articles are open-access, so you can read any of them by clicking on its link following the reference.
Here are the seven articles of which I was a co-author. I am especially proud of the articles about the experiences of Native Americans and LGBTQ adults, because these are difficult populations to sample using probability techniques that allow for generalization of the findings. I also want to take some credit for the complex methodology that made this survey possible. Special thanks to Eran Ben-Porath and his colleagues at SSRS for their critical contributions to the survey's design and implementation.
