I am an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan.My research examines cohort changes in the transition to adulthood, partnership trajectories in the early life course, and intergenerational exchanges between adult children and their older adult parents.My research program is motivated by a desire to understand changes in the institution of family, the impact of these changes for different social groups, and how these changes interact with other social structures to create inequalities. I rely heavily on longitudinal methods, which allow me to capture both historical changes, and changes across individuals’ lifecourses. I also use in-depth qualitative interviews in my research to enrich our understanding of how agency and structure interact in decisions about family transitions.
