RESEARCH INTERESTS
Research Overview
My research lies at the intersection of comparative social stratification, family, and gender. My goal is to understand the theoretical connections between gendered family institutions, policy, and social and cultural context. Among other things, my research has focused on the domestic division of labor in comparative perspective, as well as the context and the gendered labor market consequences of marriage cross-nationally. In collaborative projects I have examined the link between family status, the life course and geographic mobility in the United States, and attitudes towards and the social construction of gender and family in the United States and Germany.
