Research Interests

Dr. Hanes’s primary area of focus is social inequalities and health outcomes; he works with Dr. Sean Clouston to study the roles of race/ethnicity, sex/gender, and sexuality in later-life cognitive health. Trained as a political scientist, Dr. Hanes is particularly interested in the role of institutions and policies that create and mitigate inequalities that lead to health disparities. Secondarily, he is also interested in how health research as an institution contributes to these inequalities, and how to better conduct research with historically marginalized groups.
