The New Shape of Family-Related Gender Stratification (NEWFAMSTRAT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2021,

A mountain of evidence fails to account for gender inequalities in employment, earnings and unpaid work predicted by partnership and parenthood, leading scholars to deem the hoped-for gender equality revolution “stalled.” We argue the revolution continues, but pockets of progress are only located when unpacking within-gender differences in effects at individual, couple, and employer levels. This r...

Evolutionary genomics: new perspectives and novel medical applications (EvoGenMed)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

To make for better diagnostics and safer applications of genomics we need a better understanding of our genome and how it functions. Until recently we thought we knew: intergenic sequence must be largely “junk” and mutations that, for example, affect genes but not the protein (synonymous mutations) must be effectively neutral. This degenerate genome view accords with the nearly-neutral theory’s pr...
