Dr. Danya Keene is an associate professor of social behavioral sciences at the Yale School of Public Health. Prior to Yale, Dr. Keene received her PhD in Public Health from the University of Michigan and was an RWJF Health & Society Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. 

Dr. Keene’s research examines housing and housing policy as determinants of population health equity. Moving beyond a focus on housing and individual health, her work considers how an ongoing history of racially discriminatory housing and urban policies, that have constrained housing access for non-white Americans, contribute to racial health equity. Her work has examined a range of topics including public housing demolition, home foreclosure, the stigmatization of economically marginalized communities, the housing experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals, access to federal rental subsidies and COVID-era eviction prevention policies.
