Research Statement

As a family sociologist and gerontologist, I am interested in quality of life (QOL)  in the home and formal settings across the life course. Public health and family well-being are intertwined. My research examines gender-based violence, mental/physical health, abilities, race/ethnic/immigrant diversity and elder mistreatment. QOL can be enhanced in formal aging services and long-term-care by giving adult participants safety, autonomy and age appropriate status. Due to the hidden nature of family violence, I study the more visible lethal outcomes such as homicide and suicide among young, middle aged and elder adults. Femicide in the home is a consistent theme across ages, but the patterns differ. There are implications for domestic violence policy and prevention which take into account the pandemic, racial and income inequalities, along with the aging of the population.
