Professor of Sociology

Dr. Logan's latest project is a study of the social impacts of Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast. He is well known for analyses of Census 2000, particularly for what it revealed about the position of immigrants and minorities in U.S. society. He has also undertaken studies of neighborhood change and individual mobility in U.S. cities in the period 1880-1920. Since the early 1990s Dr. Logan has studied social change in China, focusing on how individuals, families, and communities have been affected by the transition from socialism to a mixed political economic system. Another strand of his research is about the changing American family, emphasizing the support relationships between parents and adult children.
