About
Davis Daumler is a doctoral candidate in Sociology and a Population Studies Center trainee at the Institute for Social Research. His substantive interests are in the areas of stratification, social mobility, poverty, 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 social contexts contribute to changing patterns of mobility.
Before joining the department, Davis received his bachelor's and master's degrees from McGill University. He also spent a year working at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada, where he conducted an interdisciplinary study of men’s experiences with fertility and social support.
In 2016, Davis was awarded the Outstanding Graduating Student Award by the Canadian Sociological Association. His doctoral research has received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the James N. Morgan Innovation in the Analysis of Economic Behavior Fund.
