Summary
Reeve Vanneman is a seasoned sociologist and Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland with a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Harvard and a career spanning decades of research on social stratification. His work probes shifting gender inequalities in the United States and India, including collaborative efforts to explain the stall in the U.S. gender revolution and to field a nationally representative panel survey of 41,554 Indian households. That large-scale India survey links poverty, gender stratification, and social capital to health and education outcomes and produced publicly available data for broad scholarly use. Vanneman combines rigorous quantitative methods with cross-national fieldwork, bridging academic theory and policy-relevant evidence. Based in College Park, Maryland, he brings deep expertise on social class, gender, and development, and a track record of building collaborative research infrastructures. Notably, his career reflects long-term institutional commitment alongside projects that make high-quality data accessible to the research community.
