Asaf Levanon
I am a senior lecturer in the department of sociology and the head of the center for the study of poverty and social exclusion at the University of Haifa. My research agenda bridges two central yet distinct sociological research fields. First, I am a social stratification and mobility scholar, specializing in comparative analysis of poverty, gender and ethnic inequality. Second, I am a life-course scholar, with an expertise in the longitudinal analysis of the interplay between the family and work domains. Bringing these two streams of research together is the overarching question driving my work, which is how institutions affect life-course outcomes.
