Professor Shelley Clark is a demographer whose research focuses on gender, health, family dynamics, and life course transitions. After receiving her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1999, Dr. Clark served as program associate at the Population Council in New York (1999 to 2002) and as an Assistant Professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago (2002 to 2006). In the summer of 2006, she joined the Department of Sociology at McGill, where in 2012 she became the founding Director of the Centre on Population Dynamics. Her research over the last two decades has examined adolescent transitions, HIV/AIDS, and single motherhood in sub-Saharan Africa. A new research agenda assesses rural and urban inequalities in North America. Her findings have been published in leading journals, such as Demography and Population and Development Review, and presented atl international organizations, including the World Bank, International Development Research Centre (IDRC), WHO, UNFPA/UNICEF, and the Population Council.
