Current Position: Professor of Sociology at the University of Albany, SUNY
Brief Bio: Dr. Friedman's research focuses on housing market discrimination, racial and ethnic segregation, and the neighborhood attainment of racial and ethnic groups by nativity, generation, socioeconomic status, and familial status. Recently, she studied the impact of housing on asthma and the association between disability status and housing and neighborhood conditions.
Penn State’s Demography Program: I am a proud Penn State graduate. The program provides excellent training in sociology and demography as evidenced by the national and international visibility of its alumni.
