Dartmouth College, Sociology Department
Denise Anthony is Associate Professor and Chair in the Department of Sociology at Dartmouth College. She is also Research Director of the Institute for Security, Technology, and Society at Dartmouth, and a faculty affiliate at the Center for Health Policy Research at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Dr. Anthony’s research interests include collective action and trust, economic sociology and the sociology of health care. She has explored mechanisms for producing cooperation, trust and social capital in a variety of settings, from micro-credit borrowing groups to online groups such as Wikipedia.org. In health care, she has studied variation in managed care practices across the U.S., and how organizational incentives and communication networks affect physician’s referral behavior and career satisfaction. More recently her work examines variation in patient preferences for care, regional differences in physician practice patterns, as well as predictors of hospital compliance with HIPAA requirements.
Prior to her appointment at Dartmouth, Dr. Anthony was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Post-doctoral Scholar at the University of Michigan from 1997-1999. She has a PhD in Sociology (1997) from the University of Connecticut.
