Please join us in welcoming Dr. Keith Chan!

Silberman Aging is pleased to welcome Dr. Keith Chan to Silberman School of Social Work. Dr. Chan has joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor whose research explores social determinants of physical and mental health across the lifespan with a particular focus on intersections of old age, race, and immigration. He teaches Social Work Research and Clinical Practice with Older Adults in the Master of Social Work program. Prior to joining Silberman School of Social Work, Dr. Chan worked as an Assistant Professor in the School of Social Welfare at University at Albany, State University of New York. He is a Hartford Doctoral Fellow, a NIH-funded Asian Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) Scientist and, more recently, a Health and Aging Policy Fellow doing research to examine trauma and resilience on health and mental health with older Asian populations. At Silberman Aging, Dr. Chan will be working with faculty, students, and community partners to advance the well-being of vulnerable older adults.
