Research Scientist, University of Kentucky

Martha Tillson is a recent doctoral graduate in Sociology at the University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY), a Research Scientist at the University’s Center on Drug and Alcohol Research/Substance Use Priority Research Area, and a trainee under the JEAP Initiative. Her research centers on women’s gendered experiences of substance use/misuse and related risks, with a focus on factors and services that support women’s recovery/remission, particularly at community reentry post-incarceration. This work is motivated and informed by her academic background in psychology and social work, lived experience, and desire to reduce stigma and drug-related harms.
