New: The Human Behavioral Ecology Bibliography (HBEB) has been revived as an editable google doc. Anyone can now add their publications to it! Click on the HBEB link above.
I am an anthropologist and demographer in the Department of Anthropology’s program in Human Health and Biology at the University of Oklahoma. My current research projects include:
- obesity, diabetes, gestational weight gain, and pregnancy outcomes in the United States, with an emphasis on race/ethnic health disparities
- race/ethnic and sex disparities in voluntary sterilization
- the establishment of legal paternity and children’s subsequent outcomes
- male allocare and life history traits among non-human primates
- parental investment and children’s outcomes
- adverse childhood environments (including father absence) and adult reproductive behavior
- voluntary and forced migration into Oklahoma, and its effects of fertility and child mortality (using life history and migration data from the 1910 Census)
- Any OU students who want to get involved in coding and analyzing historical Census data for this project, please contact me!
