Corey Remle comes to Wake Forest from Duke University where he completed his Ph.D. in 2008. His main areas of interest include the social dynamics within multigenerational families, aging and the life course, medical sociology and genetic/environment interaction models.
Dr. Remle’s dissertation explored how and when midlife parents provide financial assistance to adult children (besides paying for college) using data from the national Health and Retirement Study. Generally, parents acted generously when helping adult children through periods of post-secondary education, living as single adults and the transition to adulthood and many parents provided multiple gifts over a seven-year period. Patterns of giving were more common than past research suggested and intergenerational resource-sharing was more evident using longitudinal data that followed parents’ behaviors over time than cross-sectional research had found previously. Children whose parents had divorced and remarried were less likely to receive assistance from remarried fathers in particular. Parents’ life transitions and financial resources also determined the likelihood of financial gifts to adult children.
Dr. Remle’s teaching experience at Wake Forest includes Principles of Sociology, Social Problems and Contemporary Families. He is teaching a seminar course on the Sociology of Health and Illness in Fall 2008. |
