Really excited to share that I recorded a podcast! @ASAnews @SageSociology interviewed me about my recent article "Attitudes and Behavior Feedback Loops for Young Women's Premarital Sex" in @SociusJournal. Check it out!

I was a guest on the @insidehighered jobs podcast. I talked about the job market, and getting rejected, and we talked so much it ended up as a two-part podcast. So, check it out!

Really cool research on how household division of labor changes with parenthood!
🎉 I’m thrilled to share that my first solo-authored paper has been published by @DemographicRes ! 📝
In this article, I explore whether men and women in different-sex couples report the same division of labor when becoming parents.

Join @CUPopCenter for a much-needed webinar on the rising tide of pronatalism in high-income countries: "Demographers Respond to Rising Pronatalism". cuboulder.qualtrics.com/jfe/…
This study shows no effect of opposing premarital sex on whether young women have sex before marriage.
At the same time, once sexually active, only about half of women report feeling less opposed to premarital sex.
Why do almost half of women still oppose premarital sex despite having it?
Women may feel they made a one-time exception to their beliefs. They may have had unwanted sex. They may feel cognitive dissonance about having sex.
Thanks to @UTAustinSoc and @minnpop for the support on this project!
Excited to share this project on sexual attitudes and premarital sex, published today @SociusJournal! 🧵
Do attitudes inform behavior: Is that a chick-and-egg question? Here's a new study that tackles this question with young women's premarital sex as a case in point: journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
Do the 40% of young women aged 18-22 who oppose premarital sex actually avoid having premarital sex? The answer - which is NO - might not surprise you.

New open access paper alert: Using .@ipums CDOH (cdoh.ipums.org/) linked to .@NCHATstudy, we found that discrimination was more common for transgender and non-binary respondents (90% reporting) than cis-gender non-hetero and hetero respondents. link.springer.com/article/10…

Many (campaigns, activists, media personalities) have adopted a 2024 strategy that declares "democracy is on the ballot." But does this message persuade voters? In a new paper with @walk_erin, @d_e_holliday and @ylelkes we find effects are countervailing and not durable.
It might feel good to shame the other side, but it isn't very effective and risks inflaming partisan tensions.
