About
Davis Daumler is a doctoral student in Sociology and a predoctoral trainee at the Institute for Social Research. His substantive interests include poverty, social and economic inequality, family dynamics, and multigenerational social processes. 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 patterns of social 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 the factors that lead individuals to enter nontraditional conjugal arrangements, such as cohabiting unions and living apart together relationships. He also worked at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada, where he conducted research on 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.
