<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Erving is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Vanderbilt University whose research helps us understand health inequalities and resiliencies by race, ethnicity and immigration status in the U.S. Professor Erving’s
research offers an impressive array of social scientific investigations into the drivers of unequal health outcomes and provides new tools for understanding some critical public health puzzles.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Professor Erving’s research has been funded by the American Sociological Association, Ford Foundation, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.</p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Erving's research employs quantitative methods to explore how race, ethnicity, immigrant status, and gender interact to produce differentials in a variety of health outcomes. Using theories, concepts, and perspectives
from several research areas, her program of research focuses on clarifying and explaining status distinctions in health. She is currently developing four related streams of research: 1) status distinctions in physical-mental comorbidity, 2) the relationship
between physical and mental health, 3) psychosocial determinants of black women’s health, and 4) the Black–White mental health paradox.</p>
