About
Davis Daumler is a doctoral candidate in Sociology, an affiliate with the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics, and a Population Studies Center trainee at the Institute for Social Research. His work engages with the topics of stratification, social mobility, and economic sociology.
He has developed two broader projects; the first explores families' experiences with intergenerational poverty, and the second examines the process by which wealth inequality is generated and maintained over time. His research has received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, Poverty Solutions, 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.
