Benjamin A. Barsky is Associate Professor of Law at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco and Consortium Advisory Board member of the UCSF-UC Law SF Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy. Barsky’s work sits at the intersection of law, health care policy, and public health ethics. Broadly, his research interrogates the relationship between law and inequalities in health — an issue that he studies using different social scientific methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative. His research has been supported by the Commonwealth Fund, the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Evidence for Action Program. He holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law, a Master of Bioethics from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, and B.A. from Johns Hopkins University.
