معرفی
Elyas Bakhtiari is a Professor at the College of William & Mary, affiliated with the School of Public Policy. His research focuses on how institutionalized social inequalities influence health outcomes and disparities, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities and international migrants. He examines the impact of reception contexts on immigrants' health trajectories and comparative health disparities across nations through multi-level statistical analyses.
His work emphasizes cross-national comparisons, historical contexts (such as early 20th-century U.S. immigration), and the role of state policies, civil society, and cultural factors in shaping health inequities. Notable topics include the 'immigrant mortality advantage,' racialization effects post-9/11 on birth outcomes, and the intersection of socioeconomic status and ethno-racial health disparities in Europe.
Bakhtiari’s publications appear in journals like American Behavioral Scientist, Social Science and Medicine, and Journal of Health and Social Behavior. His research highlights the need for comparative, cross-disciplinary approaches to address systemic health disparities.
