Brief
biography: I received my Ph.D. in Sociology in 2005 from Brown University, where I was also a fellow in the Population Studies and Training Program. Prior to joining CSUF, I worked as a demographic researcher at the RAND Corporation and at the University of Minnesota Population Center. In addition, I have extensive experience in applied demography and survey research.
My research interests focus on demography and the family and some examples of my work include:
Rendall, Michael S. and Berna M. Torr. 2008. "Emigration and Schooling Among Second-Generation Mexican-American Children." International Migration Review. 42(3): 729–739.
Short, Susan E., Frances K. Goldscheider, and Berna M. Torr. 2006. "Less Help for Mother: The Decline in Adult Support for Mothers of Small Children, 1880–2000." Demography. 43(4): 617–629.
Torr, Berna Miller and Susan E. Short. 2004. "Second Births and the Second Shift: A Research Note on Gender Equity and Fertility." Population and Development Review. 30(1): 109–130.
