She holds a PhD in Sociology from McGill University, with a Graduate Option in Gender and Women’s Studies. Her research is organized around two areas of inquiry: (1) social mobility within and across generational lines; and (2) culture and meaning-making related to marriage and family. In each of these areas, she pays particular attention to how sex, gender and sexuality intersect with other axes of social inequality. She conducts both quantitative and qualitative research based on various types of data, including censuses, administrative tax records, surveys, and in-depth interviews. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Marriage and Family, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, Demographic Research and the Journal of Population Research.
