HOW DO PEOPLE DEFINE THEMSELVES?
New social categories are emerging in the United States, Europe, and Japan, based on novel combinations of race and ethnic identity, kinship and family definitions, and life cycle stages of young and old. My work involves the demographic modeling of social change, using quantitative analysis to shed light on problems that have traditionally been considered qualitative. My current interests include the population dynamics of multiracial societies and the influence of increasing longevity on the shifting stages of the human life cycle.
