Biography:
Jaein Lee is currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Arkansas State University. His research explores vital questions on the contexts of individual and social factors shaping inequalities in various demographic outcomes, primarily inequalities in mortality and health behaviors. His recent papers appeared in the Journal of Marriage and Family and Social Forces (with Dr. Caudillo, University of Maryland, College Park). His latest research projects explore how gender differences in attitudes toward homosexuals and suicides are mediated by marital status, age, and religious affiliations in South Korea and other countries (with Dr. Lin, University of Texas, San Antonio), and how trust in government mediates the chance of refusing COVID-19 vaccination in 2020.
