个人简介
Sanyu Mojola is Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs and the Director of the Office of Population Research. She earned a first class joint honors BA degree from Durham University, UK, and a PhD from the University of Chicago where her dissertation won the Richard Saller Dissertation Prize given to the graduate whose dissertation is the most distinguished piece of scholarship across the Social Science Division of the University of Chicago in a given year. She was previously on the faculty of Sociology at the University of Michigan and the University of Colorado Boulder where she was a Gamm Teaching Fellow and was chosen as Faculty Mentor of the Year by sociology graduate students. She has also been a Hutchins Fellow at the Du Bois Research Institute in the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University.
Her research examines how societies produce health and illness. She is especially interested in how gender, race/ethnicity, aging and the life course and socio-economic status shape health outcomes. She has investigated how social processes and mechanisms within schools, communities, labor markets, cities and eco-systems can lead to health inequality. Her past and ongoing work primarily focuses on the HIV/AIDS pandemic as it unfolds in various settings such as Kenya, the United States and South Africa. Her first book, Love, Money and HIV: Becoming a Modern African Woman in the Age of AIDS(link is external) (University of California Press, 2014) won multiple awards including the 2016 Distinguished Scholarly Book Award (Best Book of the Year) from the American Sociological Association. She is Principal Investigator of an NIH funded project called HIV after 40 in rural South Africa: Aging in the Context of an HIV/AIDS epidemic(link is external). Her team is investigating the causes and consequences of the HIV epidemic among middle aged and older adults as they age in rural post-apartheid South Africa. She is also working on her second book, under contract at University of California Press, which investigates the production of racial health inequality in the US, using the case of the HIV epidemic in Washington D.C.
She has served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Sociology, the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Studies in Family Planning and a “Globalization in Everyday Life” Book Series at Stanford University Press. She has also served on the Board of Directors of Boulder County AIDS Project and as chair of its programs committee, and served as a Council member of the Sex and Gender Section of the American Sociological Association.
