Overview

As a family sociologist and social demographer, my primary goal is to understand how family and gender shape social inequality, with a particular emphasis on how this impact varies across different societies and time periods. My current research agenda comprises three areas of focus: 1) gender dynamics in marriage and family, 2) marital formation, dissolution, and repartnering, and 3) unequal life chances and experiences of children. Below, I provide a more detailed description of each area and list my published and working papers.
