معرفی
Elizabeth McClintock is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on gender inequality, romantic relationships, and family dynamics, examining how structural factors like employment influence intimate partnerships. She explores topics such as beauty and status in partner selection, occupational segregation, and aging in marriage markets.
Key research interests include gender and family inequality, quantitative methods, and the intersection of professional and personal life. Her work has been published in journals like the American Sociological Review and Journal of Marriage and Family, addressing issues such as housework dynamics in gender-atypical occupations and the myth of 'beauty-status exchange' in mating.
Her recent publications (2018–2010) highlight themes of gendered labor division, romantic relationship dynamics, and sociocultural factors shaping partner selection. Notable studies investigate how women’s and men’s non-traditional jobs influence household responsibilities and challenge stereotypes about relationship desires between genders.
McClintock holds office in Jenkins Nanovic Hall and her work integrates rigorous quantitative analysis with sociological theory to understand persistent inequalities in intimate relationships and family structures.
