Ami Mariko Hood Frost

PhD Candidate in Sociology

My research has a substantive foundation in families and gender. Focusing primarily on partnering, my current projects examine partnering across social boundaries such as education and race, gender ideology and relationship quality, and parenting dynamics on child well-being. I utilize quantitative methods and nationally representative data to identify the complex interplay between social structures and individual interactions. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who enjoys listening to 90s pop music, reading sad books, and spending time with my family.
