I study inequality related to family composition and ongoing changes in gender attitudes and behaviors.
I take a life course perspective and use a variety of methodological approaches and data sources: experimental designs, time diary data, attitude surveys, census data, content analyses, and interviews.
See my curriculum vitae for more information about my research.
I believe in the importance of public engagement.*
I am active on Twitter, speak with the press about my research, blog sometimes, and occasionally write for Contexts magazine, families as they really are, and Girl w/ Pen!
* I prioritize speaking with journalists and non-profits. All others interested in a consultation, please inquire to discuss the financial terms.
The medium of my work has changed over time, but my interest in inequality is longstanding.
Prior to doctoral studies, I was employed at a non-profit working to end domestic violence. Before that, I earned my Master of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy.
