Monica Caudillo, Ph.D.

Bio

Dr. Caudillo's research is focused on the determinants of outcomes such as contraception use, marriage, cohabitation, fertility, and behaviors that diverge from traditional gender scripts and heteronormative sexuality. She has a particular interest in how these outcomes are impacted by contextual phenomena such as school social environment, community violence, or state policy, and how these relationships contribute to reduce or reinforce gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequalities.
