As a leading social demographer, Dr. Glick's research examines migration's intersection with family life course transitions, including altered educational pathways, labor force participation, and family formation dynamics. Her work extends to migration's impact on intergenerational relationships, living arrangements, and children's social development across three countries through the NICHD-funded FAMELO project. She investigates how migration reshapes individuals' interactions with physical and socio-political environments, with specific focus on transitions to adulthood and immigrant family structures.
