Research: Second Year Paper (490-0-20)

Instructors

Julia Andrea Behrman
Julia Behrman is a sociologist whose work explores how and why the institution of the family is changing around the world. She is particularly interested in the implications of family change for the perpetuation of disadvantage both between and within families. Her work focuses on several key questions including: How are families changing around the world with respect to marriage and family formation, fertility, employment and power dynamics in the household? What are the drivers of global family change (with focus on educational expansion, employment, immigration, and natural disaster and climatic shocks)? What are the consequences of global family change for power dynamics within the family?
