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, and pregnancy outcomes among Native Americans
- race/ethnic and sex disparities in voluntary sterilization
- the establishment of legal paternity and children’s subsequent outcomes
- male care and life history traits among non-human primates
- adverse childhood environments (including father absence) and adult reproductive behavior
- parental investment and children’s outcomes
- voluntary and forced migration into Oklahoma, and its effects of fertility and child mortality
- Any OU graduate students who want to get involved in coding and analyzing historical Census data for this project, please contact me! You can read more about this project here.
