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 the Indian Human Development Survey, a nationwide panel survey 41,554 households. This survey collects data on the relationships of poverty, gender stratification, and social capital on health and education outcomes. Public-use data files became available in 2008.

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