CAPS Seminar: Michal Engelman of University of Wisconsin
“Deaths, Disparities, and Cumulative (Dis)Advantage: How Social Inequities shape an Impairment Paradox in Later Life”
Michal Engelman is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Engelman studies the dynamics of population aging and health across the life course, with particular emphasis on early and mid-life factors that influence health disparities at older ages. Engelman’s training in demography, gerontology, and biostatistics enables her to draw on theories and methods from public health and the social sciences in studying the social determinants of health in later life. https://cde.wisc.edu/staff/engelman-michal/
