Dr. Noli Brazil's research focuses on several areas of inquiry linked by a broad interest in the causes and consequences of educational inequality, neighborhood social organization and social control, and spatial methods in demography with specific applications in population health. These research interests currently take shape in three distinct sets of projects. The first of these projects explores the interactive relationship between neighborhoods and schools in influencing youth education outcomes. The second project examines the relationship between neighborhoods and crime. The final project applies spatial exploratory and regression methods on topics in health and migration.
Dr. Brazil is now an assistant professor with the Department of Human Ecology at the University of California, Davis.
