Lab member Seth Williams to join Rice University

We’re all super proud of lab member Seth Williams who received his Ph.D. in 2022 from the Department of Criminology, Law & Society and will be taking a Post-doctoral Research Associate position in the Department of Sociology (and in the Center for Health and Biosciences) at Rice University. Seth will work under the direction of Professor Brielle Bryan on the “Spatial Determinants of Post-Conviction Health” project that investigates the connection between criminal justice contact, housing opportunity, place, and health. Seth broadly studies urban processes related to crime, housing, and neighborhood change. He uses quantitative methods, and has a particular interest in spatial methodologies and leveraging “big” and open data sources to examine these relationships. In his time at ILSSC he has published several impactful papers in such journals as Social Science Research, Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, the Annual Review of Criminology, The Professional Geographer, and Socius..
