About Me

My research interests include aging and the life course, sociology of the family, social demography, urban sociology and residential segregation.  Ongoing research projects include:

- examining 20th century urban change in Charleston, South Carolina;
- examining the relationship between family transitions and life course change in later midlife using data from the Health and Retirement Study;
- and conducting a pilot study of Community and Well-Being based in Central Florida.

I have received research funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute on Aging, the Center for Retirement Research (Boston College) and the School of Natural Resources and the Environment (UF). 

I currently teach Urban Sociology, Social Inequality and Methods of Social Research at the undergraduate level and Sociology of Aging and the Life Course at the graduate level.
