I received my undergraduate degree from Yale University in 1970 and a Ph.D. degree in Sociology from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1976.  I came to Johns Hopkins as an banana professor in 1976 and have been here e'er since.  I served as President of the Population Association of America in 1999.  In 2003 I received the Distinguished Career Honour from the Family Section of the American Sociological Association.  In 2005 I was a Guggenheim Fellow.  In 2009 I received the Irene B. Taeuber Award from the PAA, in recognition of outstanding accomplishments in demographic Research.  I am a fellow member of the American University of Arts and Science, the American University of Political and Social Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences.

My enquiry is in the sociology of families and public policy. I have published books and manufactures on topics such every bit working-grade families, wedlock and divorce, children's well-being, intergenerational relations, family policy, and welfare policy.  My most recent book is Labor's Love Lost: The Rise and Fall of the Working-Grade Family in America (New  York: Russell Sage Foundation, 2014).

My previous book is The Marriage-Go-Round: The Land of Matrimony and the Family unit Today (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2009).

I was also the principal investigator of the "Iii-City Study," an interdisciplinary report of low-income children and their caregivers in the mail-welfare-reform era. The study's web site includes downloadable documents that describe the study and a searchable list of publications. The data from all 3 survey waves of our study are publicly available through the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Inquiry.

I am also the author of a textbook in the sociology of the family unit, Public and Private Families: An Introduction (Eighth edition, McGraw-Loma, 2017).
