Bio: Robert Adelman’s research is at the nexus of urban sociology and racial stratification. His particular interests are in understanding the patterns, trends, and processes related to residential segregation and neighborhood inequality, the positive and negative consequences of immigration, internal migration within the U.S., especially return migration to the South, and labor force differences by race, ethnicity, and nativity, among other topics. He has published articles in a variety of journals including American Sociological Review, Demography, and Social Forces. Recently, Adelman, along with a number of colleagues, received a grant from the University at Buffalo’s Interdisciplinary Research Development Fund to study residential foreclosures in the City of Buffalo. Adelman sits on the Editorial Board of City & Community, one of the leading urban sociology journals.
