Biography

Michael Loree is an Instructor whose work sits at the intersection of health, disability, quantitative social research, and undergraduate education. His substantive interests include the well-being of caregivers and families of persons with disabilities, with particular attention to family stress, health, aging, and inequality across the life course. He teaches several hundred students each semester in courses on medical sociology, mental health, aging, research methods, and data analysis, with an emphasis on using real-world evidence to answer consequential social questions.

His pedagogical work focuses on making research methods and population data analysis more accessible without making them less rigorous, particularly through scaffolded, research-intensive courses that move students from interpreting studies to conducting their own. He mentors dozens of undergraduate research and capstone students each year and regularly works with large public datasets including the General Social Survey, National Health Interview Survey, and the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System.
