Dr. Marsh’s general areas of expertise are the Black middle class, demography, racial residential segregation, and education.

Currently, Dr. Marsh is writing a book for Cambridge University Press on the wealth, health, residential choices and dating practices of an emerging Black middle class that is single and living alone. Professor Marsh also teaches courses on Research Methods, Race Relations and Racial Residential Segregation.
