Research summary

Chris Knoester studies the sociology of sport and family life in the United States, focusing on how social class, race, ethnicity, gender, and generational change shape who participates in youth and school sports and how they experience them. Related work examines parenting, family dynamics (including fathers' housework and paternity leave), and public opinion on topics like sports gambling, trans athlete policies, and youth tackle football. Much of the research draws on large-scale survey data to trace historical trends and social inequalities in sport participation and family life.
