Current research interests
My main research (and teaching) interests lie in the areas of marriage/the ‘family’, demography, social stratification/social inequality and research methods. More specifically, my research interests are as follows:
Substantive: marital formation and dissolution; the formerly married and repartnering; the origins and consequences of homogamy and heterogamy; social class and social stratification (especially issues relating to intergenerational social mobility).
Methodological: analysis of contingency tables (especially using log-linear and related statistical models); the measurement of inequality; life-history analysis; combining quantitative and qualitative methods.
Recently much of my research and writing activities have been devoted to work on marital formation and dissolution (especially the formerly married and repartnering), and to the impact of parental/family characteristics on children’s occupational or educational attainment.

Teaching
Current
Surveys, Secondary Analysis and Social Statistics [Year 2 (&3) undergraduate module].
Population and Social Change [Year 3 (&2) undergraduate module]
Quantitative Methods in Social Research [Postgraduate module (Convenor)].
Past
Before my current undergraduate modules grew in size I used to enjoy teaching on the following:
Sociological Analysis of Contemporary Society [Year 1].
Class and Gender in British Society since 1750 [Year 1].
[My contribution to these modules took the form of lectures on social divisions (especially relating to social class) and on demographic/family-related topics, as well as seminar teaching. Note that the first year syllabus within the Department of Sociology has been restructured, hence the above-mentioned modules are no longer running under their past titles or with their past content].
I also used to take seminars on Field Studies in Social Research [Year 2], and contributed to Introduction to Research Methods [Year 1: again no longer in existence].
I have also in the past contributed to the following postgraduate modules (which, once again, have been superseded):
Doing and Analysing Social Research
Quantitative Analysis: Measures and Models
I also used to teach Quantitative Methods sessions on the MA Sociological Research in Health Care, and to various other categories of postgraduates.
Doctoral supervision
In addition to the supervision of postgraduates I have considerable
experience of supervising undergraduate research projects and dissertations.
The PhD students whom I have supervised have typically been doing empirical
research, sometimes quantitative and sometimes qualitative, in fields such as the
life course, social stratification, health and employment. Two illustrative
examples: my supervisee Leona Chrastilová has recently
completed a thesis on The Identity of Czech Single Women in the Late Modern
Era, and a visiting PhD student, Celi Scalon, whom I supervised has published
the following arising from her doctoral research: Scalon,
M.C. 1999. Mobilidade Social No Brasil: padroes e tendencias.
Other
I will add sections on Reviewing for journals, etc. and Administrative activities when time permits!
