Welcome! I’m Chancey and I am a mixed-methods social scientist focusing on medical sociology and policy.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology at Vanderbilt University and an Associate Editor of Work and Occupations. I am also an incoming assistant professor of Sociology at Texas Tech University. I think about the ways in which policies shape health equity and stigma. I am especially interested in reproductive health and decision-making. My body of work examines the criminalization of pregnancy at the state level, and its implications on the health and well-being of pregnant individuals and access to abortion. My analysis of prenatal care utilization was recently published in SSM-Population Health. My current dissertation research focuses on patient-provider interactions in substance-use treatment for pregnant people.

My other published work on policy-related questions may be found in Sociological Forum, American Behavioral Scientist, International Journal of Transgender Health, and LGBTQ+ Family: An Interdisciplinary Journal. For more details on my current set of skills and publications, please see my CV.
