Research Interests

I study family sociology/demography, focusing on how health and well-being are related to socio-demographic transitions in the life course and how the family affects individuals' health outcomes. Explaining why these relationships vary among societies and change over time is another aim of my research.

More generally, my research interests concern: social variations in health & well-being, causes and consequences of life course transitions, marriage patterns and social inequality. I'm keen to supervise Msc/Mphil and DPhil students in these fields and related social demographic topics.
