Reeve Vanneman

I am a stratification sociologist whose recent research focuses on changing gender inequalities in the United States and India. With Dave Cotter and Joan Hermsen, I am trying to understand why the U.S. gender revolution of the 1970s and 1980s seems to have come to a halt in the 1990s. With Sonal Desai and colleagues in Delhi at the National Council of Applied Economic Research , I have helped field a nationwide survey in India of 41,554 households. This panel survey analyzes the relationships of poverty, gender stratification, and social capital on health and education outcomes. Publicly available data files became available in July 2008.

I teach general survey courses on stratification and inequality at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as a more specialized course on homelessness for undergraduates.
