Sarah E. Patterson, PhD

I am a Family Demographer and Sociologist with an interest in families, aging, and caregiving. 

Starting August 1, 2024, I will be a Research Assistant Professor in the Demography of Aging, Disability, and Care program (DADC) at the Survey Research Center (SRC) within the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan. My work is funded by a National Institute on Aging K99/R00 grant entitled "Caregiving, Complex Family and Kinship Ties, and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)." 

I am an affiliate at the Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA), the Population Studies Center (PSC), and the Institute for Healthcare Policy & Innovation (IHPI). I am also a long-standing member of the Crossnational Aging Research Lab (CARL). I received my dual degree PhD in Demography and Sociology from the Pennsylvania State University in 2017.
