Christina Bornatici is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on the ARC Kathleen Fitzpatrick Laureate Project Bringing Equality Home: A New Gender Agenda. Her broader research interests include gender inequality, family dynamics, paid employment and unpaid work, social policy, and quantitative research methods.
Her research examines how gender inequalities are produced, sustained, and challenged across the life course and over historical time, with a particular focus on gender attitudes and the division of labour within couples. She uses longitudinal quantitative and comparative methods to analyse how attitudes, couple dynamics, institutional contexts, and gender norms shape social outcomes.
Christina holds a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Prior to joining ISSR, she was a researcher at FORS – the Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Science.
