Nathan Martin is an associate professor in the School of Social & Family Dynamics and the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University.
Martin's scholarly activities are motivated by concern for how dominant social institutions reinforce processes of cumulative (dis)advantage across time and position. As a sociologist, his research contributes to academic debates, produces policy‐relevant knowledge, and advances principles of equity, access and social justice. Martin's current research projects focus on youth political engagement, college student development, and inequalities in the arts and creative industries.
