Are you a social scientist that wants to learn R?

Then, you may find my course "R for Social Scientists" very useful!

I designed this course to give social scientists all that is necessary to start using R in their everyday work.

📢 First thesis paper is out!

In November 2022 I started my Ph.D. at the University of Utrecht. 📃 Today, my first paper is available on the website of the European Sociological Review (url.td/Q7kIJ). I love this paper and hope you will too.

I guess I like to take 3 years to publish things. 👩‍🎓😅

New paper in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility! I track long-term trends in educational assortative mating in 🇧🇷. After decades of decline, homogamy rose in the 2000s, due to a balance shift: more fluidity at lower edu levels vs. stronger homogamy at the top.

My first PhD article has been published!

🔎 It examines how the relationship between flexible working time arrangements and self-reported work-to-life and life-to-work conflict is moderated by an (un)equal domestic labor distribution within heterosexual couples.

Frequent income changes can sometimes disrupt parenting.

Parents with higher but unstable incomes report more strained relationships.

Parents with low and unstable incomes might shield children at the expense of own mental health.

A thread @usociety.bsky.social @readdemography.bsky.social 1/
“Income Volatility & Parenting Styles During Hard Times”: @gmari.bsky.social studied whether volatility affects parenting, finding it associated w/ ↓ warmth & ↑ harshness in families w/ ↑ incomes & the opposite in fams w/ ↓ incomes. @essb-erasmusuni010.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

Can mothers leverage the structural resources of their occupation like autonomy to balance motherhood and work, especially in the absence paid leave?

My latest article in the Journal of Marriage and Family suggests so.
