Spencer Allen (he/him) is a PhD student in Sociology at the University of Michigan and a predoctoral trainee in the Population Studies Center. Spencer's research agenda concerns population health inequality. His research on the COVID-19 pandemic has looked at the role unequal broadband internet access is associated with disparate COVID-19 outcomes and at the role that the uneven temporal dynamics of the pandemic change our understanding of underlying social inequality. Spencer is also involved in a project comparing the quality of prospectively versus retrospectively obtained survey data in a longitudinal study of aging.
Before starting graduate school, Spencer received a B.A. in Sociology from Dartmouth College.
