Top SchoolSean Ericson is a freelance journalist and sociology graduate with eight years of experience translating social science research into accessible storytelling across print, podcast, and digital formats. Based in Washington, D.C., he writes opinion columns, manages public-facing content for The Society Pages, and has conducted UX and qualitative research projects on telehealth and accessibility.
