Sangsoo Lee is a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology and Demography at the University of Pennsylvania. His research interests include inequality, family, gender, children & youth, and health. Much of his work is adopting a cross-national comparative perspective. Broadly, Sangsoo's research agenda encompasses three lines of work. First, his dissertation project considers gender dynamics in marriage and family, with a focus on couples' relative socioeconomic status. The second line of research examines how children's life chances and lifestyles are gendered and stratified across families and societies. Lastly, he also has a keen interest in marital formation, dissolution, and re-partnership in South Korea. His work has appeared in Social Science & Medicine and Demographic Research.
