My research involves the interrelationships of the family lives of individual persons and the influence of social environments (family and community origins, educational opportunities, employment opportunities, cultural definitions of expected roles). My approach is broadly comparative, including studies of race, ethnic and immigrant groups and majority populations in the United States over the 20th century, Italian social history, contemporary Ethiopia and Palestine.

Areas of Interest: Demography, Life Course, Adolescence, Disability

My research involves the study of individual lives considered in their cultural, community and family contexts. My interests in the life course of American adolescents include educational attainments, finding secure employment, starting a family, and earning a living wage. I am particularly interested in the ways in which opportunities in local environments and resources of their parents are converted into the successful transition to adulthood. These influences are revealed in situations in which these transitions are limited for young people with health impairments or disabilities.

More generally, I have focused on the health and disability of children and adolescents – population prevalence, access and use of needed medical and supportive services, their educational and employment aspirations and experiences, and the effects of children with disabilities on the lives of other family members. Throughout my career I have been involved in studies of reproductive health and the well-being of mothers and children in developing county populations. My research interest in developing nations and on the lives of adolescents has resulted in a major on-going longitudinal study of young men and women in Ethiopia and current data collection and analysis with Palestinian researchers at Birzeit University, Ramallah.

My graduate teaching involves seminars on sociological theory construction and research methods, and sociology of the life course, and demographic methods. I believe that the best way to teach sociology is through hands-on research experience in courses and seminars and through independent studies with undergraduate and graduate students.
