Steven
Martin joined the Department of
Sociology as an assistant professor in Fall 2000
after completing his Ph.D. at the University of
Wisconsin – Madison. His main area of research
interest is social demography, and his teaching
specialties are statistics, methods, and family
demography.
Steven’s primary topic for research has been
family dimensions of social inequality. His
published work includes analyses of race and/or
educational differences in marriage and
fertility timing, marital dissolution rates, and
attitudes toward marital dissolution. He is
currently studying trends in childlessness with
a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
In other research areas, Steven has studied
issues of data quality and analysis in
demographic research in general and the study of
inequality in particular. With Dr. John
Robinson, he has written on the income digital
divide; that is, the unequal diffusion of
internet and computer use in the United States.
With Dr. Ching-Yi Shieh, a former graduate
student at Maryland, he has written on voter
turnout. With Larry Wu and Daniel Long at the
University of Wisconsin, he has studied the
quality of birth reports, sexual intercourse
histories, and contraceptive use histories.
