Research - Parental Investments in Youth. Sociologists have long identified parental resources and practices as key mechanisms driving class reproduction — explaining how the educational and occupational standings of parents are largely reproduced by their children.
My research adds to this rich tradition of research by elucidating some often implicit, but little investigated ways that family background and structure advantage or disadvantage youth. My dissertation, Strategies for Success: Parental Funding, College Achievement, and the Transition to Adulthood, examines perhaps one of the most crucial and costly of parental investments — the funding of a college education. This project was supported by an American Educational Research Association Dissertation Grant.
