Sociology Graduate Students

Sarah Akinyemi

My broader interests include social networks, homelessness, social psychology, and mixed methods.  After working in a homeless shelter for two and a half years, I decided that I needed to review some literature and conduct research in order to know how to truly help the homeless and impoverished.  I am currently focusing my research on interactions between clients and staff of human service agencies to determine whether those interactions affect the long-term well being of the clients.  I intend to write my thesis on this topic.
