Dr. Sangeeta Parashar is trained in the broad fields of social demography and international development. Her research interests are structured around two major themes: social inequalities in (1) work and (2) health, located within the political economy of the region. In addition to compositional factors such as gender, race, caste, class, and religion, she focuses on location as an important dimension of stratification. Current research projects examine women's reproductive health and health-seeking behavior in India and Haiti; the triple burden of women in the context of aging; and American attitudes towards non-traditional groups (using the GSS).
