Jordan Ross Herring
Postdoctoral Scholar, Emergency Medicine
BioI am a social scientist whose research examines how Medicaid policy, health care delivery system design, and large-scale structural social factors influence health care access and service delivery for low-income and underserved populations, drawing on core conceptual frameworks from economics and sociology. I primarily use quantitative analysis, quasi-experimental research designs, and large administrative data to evaluate the effects of public policies on health care access and health outcomes.
I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where I work under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Lin on projects examining how Medicaid managed care network size relates to accessing health care. Prior to joining Stanford in February 2025, I conducted research at the Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity within the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University while completing my Ph.D. At the Mullan Institute, my work focused on health workforce policy and workforce diversity and was primarily funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
I hold a Ph.D. in public policy (public finance track) from George Washington University, an M.S. in economics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a B.S. in international economics from Texas Tech University. My research has been published in journals such as Social Science & Medicine, JAMA Health Forum, and Health Affairs. Prior to my doctoral training, I served as an economic research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, where I worked on projects examining the macroeconomic effects of health status and health insurance coverage. -
Rachel Herring
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2024
BioRachel Herring (Choctaw Nation) investigates how to disrupt extractive capitalism and neoliberal sustainability strategies through decolonial approaches to energy. She employs ethnographic methods to investigate how energy infrastructures reflect and reproduce systems of power, and how infrastructure may instead serve as a tool of self-determination. Previously, she has recommended policy alternatives for domestic mining with the Department of Energy’s Indian Energy Program, and has explored impacts of critical mineral extraction on Native land as a Kathryn Wasserman Davis Conflict Transformation Fellow. As a Fulbright Fellow and National Geographic Explorer, Rachel explored the intersection between the clean energy transition and the depopulation crisis in rural Japan. She was named a Next Generation Photographer by the 2024 Japan Photo Award in Kyoto, and her work has appeared in the New York Times. She holds an MA in International Environmental Policy from the Middlebury Institute, and a BA from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
