Conducting an interview with a family in Nepal
Lisa Pearce is a sociologist and demographer who primarily studies
how religion shapes family formation, relationships, adolescent self-image,
aspirations, and achievement. With ongoing research set in both the U.S.
and Nepal, her current U.S. work focuses on how religious ideology, practice,
and salience in youth relate to subsequent education-, career-, and family-related
attitudes and behavior. In Nepal, she studies how religion is related to
family formation and how household-level population dynamics influence environmental
consumption. Pearce conducts research with a mix of survey and ethnographic
methods.
