Seongbo Son
Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice
Seongbo Son is a doctoral student at the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice. His research examines the structural and institutional drivers of housing policy, affordability, and cumulative housing instability, particularly as they affect low-income families and first-generation college students. He is especially interested in how AI-driven housing discrimination and imbalanced housing markets shape family transitions, adolescent development, and intergenerational mobility through neighborhood- and system-level mechanisms. Seongbo has worked to advance age-friendly initiatives with Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh and promote housing access and eviction prevention at the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania. He holds an MSW from the University of Pittsburgh and a BA and MA from Seoul National University.
