Anna Zajacova is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Western Ontario. Trained as a demographer and sociologist at Princeton University, she studies chronic pain as a population phenomenon, asking how social conditions shape its distribution in the US and Canada. She has published over 90 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals including PAIN, Demography, and the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. Her work, supported by the NIH and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, positions chronic pain as a critical dimension of population health.
