Implications: Expand education & enforce minimum marriage age for disadvantaged groups. Link below. (5/5)
!!!Child marriage (in ~half of unions) facilitates intermarriage among privileged groups (e.g., Madhesi Brahman/Chhetri, MPB), though it reinforces endogamy, esp. among Dalits. (4/5)
Education is a key bridge, especially for women from disadvantaged and indigenos groups (e.g., Dalits, Janajatis), but with limited or even negative effects for those from privileged groups. (3/5)
Caste/ethnic divides remain persistent, though weakening. Indigenous Janajatis show greater openness. Gender asymmetries are evident: lower-caste men marry upwards more often. (2/5)
Excited to share my new work in RSSM 🎉! First nationwide study on Nepal’s caste/ethnic intermarriage, using 2001/2011 censuses. It is exceedingly rare—below 1%, vs. prior estimates of >20% in some areas. #Nepal #Caste A thread (1/5)

Honored to be cited by @unfpa.org in the State of World Population 2025. The real fertility crisis has always been that individuals are unable to have the ideal number of children—whether more, fewer, or none!

Many thanks to the tremendous support from Senhu and Zheng🌹🌹🌹
Out in JFEI🎉! Our study of 13k couples in China reveals a mix of old & new gender roles boosting happiness. While trad. income roles still work, husbands' satisfaction peaks when they provide AND do more housework. Some thrive in wife-provider roles.

A 0% research 100% fun day in Seoul @anni-ni.bsky.social
Presented my collaborative work on ethnic disparities with Dr. Zheng Mu at READI conference, Seoul. Lots of great feedback! The last conference before postdoc begins in September.
Very saddened to learn of the passing of Richard Alba, a towering figure in the sociology of immigration. His work shaped the understanding of assimilation, ethno-racial boundaries, and the changing American mainstream.

Happy to attend SEAA (Society for East Asian Anthropology) in Seoul. Awesome panel about gender, individualization, and migration @anni-ni.bsky.social #SEAA
On that note, what are your favorite article titles? I very much like these ones:
The June issue has posted—2 research notes and 13 articles, including research on legalization and employment & assimilation outcomes of immigrant workers, how changing demographic rates shape kinship networks, mothers’ work schedules over three decades...& more. read.dukeupress.edu/demography/i...
Its meaning is very nuanced and intricate.
I consider, citing someone I admire meaningfully is an accomplishment in itself.
But corrections happen all the time, needed, for example, to reduce AI’s gender stereotypes from raw data.
Sasha & Charlie, two community cats, are acknowledged in my dissertation. They have held a special place in my heart during and beyond my time in Singapore. I want these memories to live on forever.
So happy to share that I successfully passed my Ph.D. oral defense🎉🎉🎉 The happiest four year by far🥳🥳🥳 Huge thanks to Dr. Zheng Mu for the amazing support🌹🌹🌹 #PhD #Graduation
There are always a few works that, though not popular, are tremendously helpful to my manuscript. I owe them a lot!
Happy to share my work (coauthored with Dr. Zheng Mu) on interethnic marriage in China at ICSA Chengdu. Had a wonderful experience and enjoyed every moment of our Singapore panel.
Which occupations carry the highest risk of sexual harassment—and who is doing the harassing?
Our new study finds two distinct patterns depending on whether harassment comes from inside or outside the workplace.

When and how do bright kids from poor backgrounds fall behind? Everyone should read this paper by @johnjerrim.bsky.social & Maria Palma Carvajal: great data, corrects past work, nails the method, and is super readable.

Moderation vs. mediation really bothered me in year one tbh😳
