Keera Allendorf received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan. Dr. Allendorf's research focuses on family, gender, and health. She investigates how and why family behaviors vary and change over time and how family behaviors shape well-being. In current projects, she examines adaptations of sonless families and explores Indian Americans' views and experiences of family life. She is also a co-investigator on the third wave of the India Human Development Survey. Geographically, Dr. Allendorf's work focuses on India and Nepal, but also includes comparative work on Asia more broadly and the United States. Her methods include analysis of large-scale surveys, ethnographic fieldwork, and semi-structured interviews. Her work has appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, Demography, Population and Development Review, and Journal of Marriage and Family.
