Alisa C. Lewin
I am an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Haifa. I joined the University of Haifa after completing my PhD at UCLA. I have also been a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago (2003-2006), and a visiting faculty at Stanford University (2018-2019). My primary research interests are in demography of the family, poverty, and inequality. Much of my research focuses on the link between gender, family and poverty.
Recently funded research projects include:
2020 Poverty in Times of Corona, funded by MOST – the Ministry of Science (with Michal Shamai)
2020-2023 Gendered Life Courses and Inequality among Older Adults, funded by the Israel Science Foundation (with Haya Stier).
2021-2022 Growing up in Poverty: Long-Term Effects of Childhood Poverty on Life Chances, funded by the Israel National Insurance Institute (with Haya Stier).
