Raeven Faye Chandler is a PhD Candidate in Demography and Rural Sociology at Penn State University.  Her main areas of interest include health and immigration and her research focuses on individual, family, and community well-being.  She is particularly interested in spatial and social determinants of health and other forms of well-being including poverty and mobility along the U.S. rural-urban continuum.  She approaches her research from an ecological perspective in an effort to inform understanding of the correlates and consequences of social disadvantage, particularly at the intersections of race/ethnicity, spatial inequality, and health, with the ultimate goal of identifying potentially modifiable areas for intervention.
