About
Davis Daumler is a doctoral candidate in Sociology, as well as a Population Studies Center trainee at the Institute for Social Research. His substantive interests are in the areas of stratification and social mobility, poverty dynamics, work and labor markets, and economic sociology.
He is currently engaged with two broader projects; the first explores how childhood temporal dynamics shape the intragenerational persistence of poverty, and the second examines how social contexts contribute to changing patterns of socioeconomic mobility. His research has received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, and the James N. Morgan Innovation in the Analysis of Economic Behavior Fund.
Before joining the department, Daumler received his bachelor's and master's degrees from McGill University. In 2016, he was awarded the Outstanding Graduating Student Award by the Canadian Sociological Association. 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.
