Assistant Professor of Sociology at Stetson University

Prior to coming to Stetson University, I spent five years at the Department of Sociology at McGill University, where I graduated in 2023. My research program focuses on the following three intersected areas.

First, I investigate how the cultural norms of the origin country influence the family attitudes and behaviors of migrants and their children, as well as how cultural practices in migrant families, such as language and religion, shape this cross-border transmission process.

My second emphasis is placed on the acculturation and intergenerational transmission of gender norms and sexual values in migrant families.

Third, I examine how migration shapes family life among migrant families in the context of origin.
