Christina Gibson-Davis is a Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy. Her research focuses on social and economic disparities in family formation patterns, particularly how these patterns influence economic inequality. She holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Sociology.
Key research areas include families and parenting, poverty and inequality, and social-emotional health. Current projects explore net worth poverty's impact on child development and the role of political identity in fertility desires.
Her recent publications emphasize racial wealth gaps, policy frameworks for Black reparations, and the intersection of family wealth with child well-being. Notable works include analyses of grandparental wealth effects and state policies' mental health buffering during the pandemic.
Dr. Gibson-Davis' work bridges academic inquiry with policy relevance, addressing systemic inequities through interdisciplinary approaches.
