Bio

Julia Lynch is a political scientist who studies the comparative politics of health and social policies in advanced industrial democracies, particularly Western Europe and North America. For the last ten years, her research has centered on three themes: public beliefs about equity in the realm of health and health care, mainly in the United States; the relationship between health and home mortgage foreclosure, again mainly in the United States; and the politics of policymaking surrounding health inequalities by race, gender, socioeconomic status, and region in the United States and Europe. Prof. Lynch is a former fellow of the SSRC’s International Dissertation Research Fellowship Program.
