Jamy Rentschler, Ph.D.
I am a sociologist specializing in poverty, public policy, social inequalities, race, religion, and politics, with expertise in survey research and quantitative analysis.

I received a research grant from the Midwest Sociological Society to study Protestant Christian perspectives about what causes poverty and how it should be addressed in the United States. I am actively seeking participants to take a short survey and then take part in a 30–60 minute interview. Participants will receive a $25 gift card as compensation.
