Liana Sayer, Ph.D
Bio
Sayer is the Director of the Maryland Time Use Laboratory, at the University of Maryland. Sayer’s research on cross-national and historical determinants, patterns, and consequences of gendered time use documents how time in daily activities is a fundamental mechanism that reinforces and reconfigures gender, race and class inequality over time, place, and generation. Sayer's current projects examine how gender, race and ethnicity, immigrant status, and social class intersect with life stage variation in daily activity patterns, health, and well-being. Her research has been published in Socius, Journal of Marriage and Family, Demography, and American Journal of Sociology.
