The Sociology Department warmly welcomes Dr Christiaan Monden who is University Lecturer in Sociology and a Fellow of Nuffield College. He joins us from the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands.

He studies 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 his research.
