Associate Professor of Sociology
Ph.D., Princeton University, 2002
Dr. Kenney's research focuses on changes in union formation and relationship quality; gender and power in couples; and intra-household
or intra-family resource allocation. A particular focus of her research is the role, meaning, and impact of money and economic
exchanges in different kinds of family relationships, because, as Viviana Zelizer has argued, "in terms of evidence, to study
money in the family is to enter largely uncharted territory... we know less about money matters than about family violence
or even sex."
