Associate Professor
Emi Tamaki

My research interests include immigration, family, and health. I study these topics using Sociological methods. One of my current projects explores the determinants and consequences of immigrants' social, cultural, and economic ties with their countries of origin. I am also interested in the relationship between family and health.
