Skye Miner graduated from 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University in 2012 with a BA in Sociology and a minor in Women's and Gender Studies. She received her MA in Sociology in 2013 from Brandeis University and her PhD in Sociology in 2019 from McGill University. She has worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the bioethics department at the National Institutes of Health and as an assistant professor and clinical ethicist at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Today, she is an Associate Behavioral and Social Scientist at RAND, a nonprofit nonpartisan research organization. Her research focuses on how social factors like gender and race shape understandings of medicine and use of health care technologies. After graduation she continued to work with her 91³Ô¹ÏÍø mentor, Dr. Andrea Bertotti Metoyer, and they have published three articles together.
“The 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Sociology Department provided me with strong methodological and theoretical training that served to be an essential foundation for my graduate school and post-graduate work. My participation in the undergraduate research group and position as a research assistant for Dr. Andrea Bertotti Metoyer gave me invaluable hands-on experience. These opportunities gave me both the confidence and training to perform my own research in graduate school and beyond.”
