Early life and education

[edit]

House attended Springfield High School[1] and graduated as the 1961 class valedictorian.[2] Following high school, House attended Haverford College where he majored in history for his undergraduate degree and completed his PhD at the University of Michigan (U-M).[3]

Career

[edit]

Following his PhD, House served as an instructor, assistant professor, and finally an associate professor in the department of sociology of Duke University until 1978. He then joined his alma mater, the University of Michigan, and received an Investigator Award for his project "Social Inequalities in Aging and Health."[4] Upon earning his award, he was also elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[5] From 2005 until 2010, House served as the Angus Campbell Collegiate Professor of Sociology and Survey Research.[6] While serving in this role, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences[7] and received the American Sociological Association's 2009 Leonard I.

Nearing the end of his tenure at U-M, House was named the Henry Russel Lecturer for 2013 "in recognition of exceptional achievements in research, scholarship or creative endeavors, and an outstanding record of teaching, mentoring and service."[11] Following his retirement, House published Beyond Obamacare: Life, Death, and Social Policy through the Sage Foundation.[12][13]
