Research interests:
Dr. Hummer is a social demographer whose research centers on health and mortality disparities across population groups in the United States, and with links between migration and health, and religion and health. Together with Richard Rogers and Charles Nam, he recently published Living and Dying in the USA: Health, Behavioral, and Social Differentials of Adult Mortality (Academic Press, 2000), which won the Otis Dudley Duncan Award from the Population Section of the American Sociological Association for its contribution to the field of Social Demography. He is currently working on projects funded by NICHD, NIA, and NSF that examine race/ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious differences in health and mortality across the lifecourse.
