I am a sociologist who studies inequality related to gender and families.
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.
My current research investigates couples' treatment of money.
My dissertation consisted of an international comparative approach to explore the treatment of money in families across contexts with different degrees of gender inequality and a vignette survey-experiment which tested perceptions of how money operates in relationships. I am also conducting semi-structured interviews to evaluate how these ideals are negotiated. To check out what else I'm working on, see my curriculum vitae.
I believe in the importance of public sociology.
I am active on Twitter, blog sometimes, and occasionally write for Contexts magazine, families as they really are, and Girl w/ Pen!
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.
