William Lopez

Clinical Assistant Professor, Health Behavior & Health Education

William D. Lopez is a clinical assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and faculty associate in the Department of Latina/o Studies. His research and teaching center on racial health inequities, especially those experienced by Latinx immigrant communities in the Midwest and rural United States. As a mixed-methodologist, Lopez has used health surveys, participant observation, and semi-structured and narrative interview techniques to consider the ripple effects of policies on the individuals, families, and communities that are subjected to them. His award-winning book, Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid, documents the strain that deportation places on mixed-status families and communities in the Midwest.
