Research:
I have two research projects dealing with personal relationships. One involves qualitative analyses of relationship formation, relationship development, and social processes in black lesbian-headed families. The other employes quantitative analyses of social processes and relationship quality in interracial and same-race couples in the Fragile Families data.
