Ask David R. Williams — a sociologist and educator at Harvard University — what his election to the National Academy of Sciences signifies, and he’ll quickly get to a specific item.

Currently, Williams is the Florence Sprague Norman and Laura Smart Norman Professor of Public Health and chair of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H.
