Research Abstract |
My work mainly focuses on the impact of changing gender relations on comparative welfare state development. I am also working on a book project for the ASA Rose Series on Americans' definitions of family, and carrying out large research project on gender and citizenship from a cross-national perspective with Hilde Coffé of Utrecht University. | |
