My program of research uses intersectional, and health equity approaches to investigate how social and cultural norms, religion, family, and migration context shape MENA and South Asian women’s attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes for health issues across the life course, including marital timing, family formation, relationship dynamics, childbearing and fertility, and chronic conditions. My research also investigates intergenerational factors that contribute to changing demographic trends in marriage, family formation, and fertility from the first-generation of MENA and South Asian immigrants to the newly emerging second-generation of MENA and South Asian Americans.
