The domain of sociology which fascinates me is the sociology of health and illness, and how social factors can influence our mortality rate. I am especially interested in studying the health and wellbeing of minorities such as women, indigenous groups as well as immigrants and how they are disadvantaged in living a healthy life? Such as examining the effects colonialization, discrimination along with racism have had and continue to have on the health and well-being of minority groups. I am also interested in examining whether or not racism is accelerating aging among minority groups. I would like to focus my research prospectus on studying health system interventions or policies which are having a positive outcome on preventing chronic diseases
