Biography

About

My background and research make me well-suited to be affiliated with the Center for Demography and Ecology (CDE). I am a social worker who has been trained in social welfare, and my research focuses on the economic wellbeing of single-parent families. Much of my work examines social policies that affect the poverty of both custodial and noncustodial parents, and I have also examined the ways that contemporary family life (formation, dissolution, fertility, and living arrangements) is shaped by these policies.

CDE research theme area affiliations
