Research
I study family sociology/demography, focusing on the link between health and family and how health and well-being are related to socio-demographic transitions in the life course and how the family affects individuals' health outcomes.
More generally, my research interests are: social variations in health & well-being, causes and consequences of life course transitions, marriage patterns and social inequality. I am available for supervising Msc/Mphil and DPhil students in these fields.
