Profile

I am trained in the broad fields of social demography and international development. My research interests are structured around two major themes: social inequalities in (1) work and (2) health, located within the political economy of the region. In addition to compositional factors such as gender, race, caste, class, and religion, I focus on location as an important dimension of stratification. Current research projects examine women's reproductive health and health-seeking behavior in India and Haiti; the triple burden of women in the context of aging; and American attitudes towards non-traditional groups (using the GSS).
