Research

My research interests are rooted in our gendered experiences at the individual, interactional, and institutional levels. My past research has looked at gender and family roles through work requirements of welfare recipients and men鈥檚 nontraditional parenting roles as primary caregivers.  My current research interests are focused on gender socialization through scouting organizations.  I鈥檓 looking at both adult women鈥檚 roles and experiences as role models and developers of leadership in girls through Girl Scouts and public reactions to recent membership and name changes in the Boys Scouts.
