My research is broadly grounded in family sociology and the life course framework. My past and recent work examined the transition to adulthood, single parents’ re-partnering choices and health, as well as the emergence and effects of alternative post-separation childcare arrangements on parents. My research interests further comprise social influences on the adaptation to transition experiences across the life course, such as in the transition to adulthood and to later-life divorce or widowhood.
