Timothy Callaghan is an Associate Professor of health policy and politics in the Department of Health Law, Policy, and Management at the Boston University School of Public Health. Dr. Callaghan received his doctorate in political science from the University of Minnesota in 2016. His research focuses on how politics, policy, and place work together to influence health in America.
