I study social stratification, intergenerational mobility, and inequality of opportunity. My research examines how social origins shape life outcomes and how people perceive these processes across different societies.
Research Highlights
Social Stratification & Mobility
Examining trends, determinants, and consequences of intergenerational social mobility across societies.
Inequality of Opportunity
Investigating how equality of opportunity is perceived, measured, and linked to population health outcomes.
Public Opinion & Perceptions
Understanding how people perceive their own social mobility and what drives these perceptions.
Comparative & Post-Soviet Research
Cross-national comparative analyses with special expertise in post-Soviet societies and European welfare states.
