If you're up early and at #ASA2024, come see my talk! We'll show how the pandemic created short-term and long lasting challenges for safety net hospitals. One big implication is the erosion of trust among populations who have been historically distrustful of the medical system.

I am on the job market! Happy to chat at ASA this weekend, or you can learn more about my research at my website (emilyekl.com).
Emily’s (@EklEmily) research & teaching interests include medical sociology, work and organizations, and social networks. Her dissertation draws on comparative ethnography to understand how mid-status professionals navigate a healthcare system that was built to privilege doctors.
