PhD dissertation

My PhD thesis explores how family socioeconomic conditions interact with children’s genotypes in shaping social inequalities in education and health. I find that the family’s socioeconomic background can compensate, boost, or trigger genetic associations by contributing to the intergenerational reproduction of social inequality. My thesis can be found here.

The illustrations below, drawn by my dearest friend and great artist, visualize the key findings and mechanisms found in the thesis.
