Davis Daumler

Davis Daumler is a doctoral student in Sociology and a predoctoral trainee at the Population Studies Center within the Institute for Social Research. His substantive interests include poverty, stratification, social mobility, and multigenerational family dynamics. He is currently engaged with two broader projects; the first explores the mechanisms by which poverty is maintained across generations, and the second examines how different family contexts contribute to changing patterns of mobility.

Before joining the department, Davis received his M.A. in Sociology from McGill University, where he conducted a study on family formation, union instability, and repartnership into diverse relationship types. He also worked at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada, where he investigated men’s experience with fertility and social support.

In 2016, Davis was awarded the Outstanding Graduating Student Award by the Canadian Sociological Association. His research is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
