Biography
My research spans the areas of social psychology, social network analysis, mental health, and fatherhood. Much of my research examines the interplay between social networks, the self, and mental health.
I am currently working on project that examines the interpersonal and structural barriers that fathers face when engaging in caregiving for their children using qualitative interviews with stay-at-home dads. If you are interested in learning more about or participating in this research, you can email me at mwalk67@lsu.edu or set up an interview directly through my booking page.
