Hannah Tessler

Hannah Tessler is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan. Her research and teaching interests lie in inequalities tied to gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, family, and education. She uses both quantitative and qualitative research methods to examine traditional markers in the transition to adulthood such as pathways to higher education, as well as union and family formation, and she has published multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals based on this work. Her current research centers on how gender and sexuality shape intimate relationships beyond marriage and nuclear family formation. This research has been supported by the National Science Foundation/American Sociological Association Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant. Hannah has a PhD in Sociology from Yale University.
