SUMMARY:Talk by Susan Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Dr Stewart’s, Associate Professor of Sociology, Iowa State U
 niversity, area of expertise is family demography, the statistical study 
 of families and households in terms of their formation, dissolution, and 
 change over time. Her research uses large national datasets to examine st
 ructural diversity, parent-child relationships, fertility, parental invol
 vement, and child and adult well-being in nontraditional family forms. Wi
 th funding from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Developm
 ent, the Joint Center for Poverty Research, and the U.S. Department of Ag
 riculture, Dr. Stewart is investigating race and gender differences in no
 nresident parental involvement (child support and visitation) and its rel
 ationship to children’s well-being, the relationship between food insec
 urity, family stress, and childhood obesity, eating patterns and obesity 
 among children in nontraditional families, and new stepfamily forms and p
 atterns such as stepchild adoption. Dr. Stewart recently completed her fi
 rst book, Brave New Stepfamilies: Diverse Paths toward Stepfamily Living 
 (Sage, 2007).
