Andrea M. Tilstra

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the University of Oxford in the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, in the Departments of Population Health and Sociology, and an affiliate with the Sociology Group at Nuffield College. Previously, I completed my PhD in Sociology in May 2021 at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I was affiliated with the CU Population Center in the Institute of Behavioral Science. 

 

I grew in Grand Rapids, Michigan and completed my undergraduate degrees at the University of Pittsburgh. Outside of the office, you're most likely to find me gardening, at the yoga studio, or cooking elaborate meals. Community outreach is also important to me, and I dedicate time each week to volunteer at a community drop-in centre in Oxford (The Gatehouse).
