DemSem: Joel Mittleman (University of Pennsylvania)

Dr. Joel Mittleman is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, with affiliations in the Population Studies Center and the Program in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies. His research analyzes inequality in schools and society with a focus on LGBTQ+ populations.

As such, much of his research advances innovative methods for analyzing inequality beyond the binary categories of female and male.
