DENNIS HOGAN

My areas of research involve the interrelationships of the family lives of individual persons (for example, whether and when they marry, when they become parents, how many children they have) and their social environments (family and community origins, educational opportunities and the structure of schools, employment opportunities, cultural definitions of expected roles). My approach is broadly comparative, including studies of race, ethnic and immigrant groups and majority populations in the United States over the 20th century, Italian social history, and contemporary Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and Japan.
