Today is a very special day for me 🎉 my first ever solo-author paper is out in Journal of Marriage and Family (this was my dream journal during my PhD and I am beyond excited to have this paper published there). Go check it out, it's open access.

Today, I started my very exciting, new job at CED, Barcelona 🇪🇸 I will he working with @arianeophir.bsky.social to understand the demography and stratification of singles in Europe.

The families in households typology

In this new paper from the @reusilience.bsky.social project, we improve standard family-type variables in EU-SILC

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to present our ongoing work on the long-term costs of growing up in a single parent family at @wzb.bsky.social. Thank you @hannahzagel.bsky.social for the invitation. We had a great discussion about the mechanisms behind cross-national variation.

From my desk at TU Dortmund today, I feel motivated and uplifted - which is a rare moment in this field but also what fuels me to do this job against repeated rejections, frustration, and feeling like the work never materializes. This is a reminder (for myself, first! ) that the sun always rises.

Spent some time today at @ruhr-uni-bochum.de enjoying the sights and learning about the German academic environment.

I will be at TU Dortmund from 23 June to 4 July, visiting @hannahzagel.bsky.social at the Life Course Sociology Chair. Get in touch if you're around and want to chat about family, poverty, or the brief German summer 🌞
