Profile
Biography
I am a sociologist of time and time-use. My research focuses on the issue of inequality in everyday life. I am investigating the ways in which families, gender, and social class shape people's day-to-day activities. My work is not only concerned with inequalities within countries, but also comparatively explores inequalities between countries and over time.
