Vita
Tomás Cano is postdoctoral researcher (Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin) at the chair in Sociology of Work at Goethe University of Frankfurt and Research Fellow of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course. He did his PhD at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona and he has been visiting scholar at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW-Berlin), The University of Queensland (Australia), the University of Cologne (Germany) and at the Institute of Education, University College of London (UK).
His research focuses on the study of class and gender inequalities over the life course and across generations. In his PhD he looked at two channels through which parents transmit advantage to their children: time and emotional investments. Empirically, he uses quantitative methods for causal analysis and large scale datasets such as the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, the German Socio-Economic Panel or Time-Use Surveys.
His research has been published in journals like Journal of Marriage and Family or Revista Española de Investigaciones Sociológicas, and awarded by the European Commission, the Sociological Association of Madrid or the RC28-ISA.
