Curriculum Vitae 
(DOC format)
Research: Much of Ellison's research focuses on three broad topics: (1) the implications of religious involvement for mental and physical health and mortality; (2) religious variations in family life, including childrearing, marital relations, gender roles, and family violence; and (3) the role of religious institutions, practices, and values among US racial and ethnic minority populations. He is also interested in developing new strategies for measuring aspects of religiousness and spirituality using survey data.
