Council of Contemporary Families

Mia Brantley (@_MiaBrantley) is currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology at North Carolina State University. As a trained sociologist, Dr. Brantley’s academic scholarship lies at the intersection of race, gender, and family within the context of health. Specifically, she utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to understand how the consequences of race shapes Black families’ health, well-being, and lived experiences. Her current research agenda includes: (1) How is race-related stress transmitted intergenerationally within Black Families, and (2) In what ways does race shape the health and lived experiences of Black mothers? Her goal is to provide both exploration and insight into the multiple pathways through which race-related stress impacts the well-being and lived experiences of Black families.” https://sites.utexas.edu/contemporaryfamilies/2024/05/06/2024-early-career-scholars/
