Noura Elise Insolera serves as an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research (ISR) and Assistant Director of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Her work is anchored in the Survey Research Center, where she leverages one of the world's longest-running longitudinal household surveys to investigate socioeconomic dynamics. Dr. Insolera's research examines how income inequality manifests in health, educational, and socioeconomic outcomes across the life course, with food insecurity as a central mechanism. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates sociology, economics, public health, and survey methodology to analyze how social and economic factors mitigate inequality's effects. Key populations studied include children, college students, and older adults, with particular attention to cognitive impairment, dementia risk, educational attainment, and intergenerational food security patterns. Analysis of her 2016-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on food insecurity's longitudinal impacts using PSID data. Her work demonstrates how economic hardship during critical life stages (e.g., childhood, college years) propagates into long-term health and socioeconomic consequences. Major themes include racial/ethnic disparities in food insecurity, protective effects of nutrition assistance programs (SNAP/WIC), and food agency's role in dietary outcomes. As Assistant Director of the PSID—a landmark study tracking U.S. families since 1968—Dr. Insolera oversees data collection on economic mobility, poverty, and health across generations. This infrastructure enables her research on life course trajectories and intergenerational transmission of disadvantage.
