“When the at-home parent is the mother, there’s a clear expectation that she’ll be in charge of the family’s domestic life,” said study coauthor Noelle Chesley of University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. “That’s not necessarily the case when the at-home parent is the father.”

“I will miss teaching, but I am grateful for the opportunity to focus on completing my dissertation before I enter the job market next fall.”

As a sociologist, Daniel studies patterns of human behavior that perpetuate and disrupt social inequalities in gender, sexuality, family and health. His dissertation explores the attitudes and behaviors of married people in contemporary society, from the perspective that the institution of marriage has historically served to privilege men, masculinity and heterosexuality, producing structural inequalities that disadvantage women, femininity and sexual minorities.

“With this fellowship, the necessity of looking for employment unrelated to my field of study is alleviated.”

As a first-generation college student from an underrepresented racial/ethnic group (self-identifying as Latino/Hispanic) Jesse became interested in the study of inequality/inequity, particularly in education. “Race/ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic class standing all intersect and play a role in the navigation of the institution of education as well as in others,” he explains, “and it is a research goal of mine to delve further into the topic that is often left out regarding the perspectives of those affected.”
