Davis Daumler is a sociologist who studies wealth, poverty, and families—in order to understand the process by which societies become economically and racially stratified. His research advances our understanding of how population-level inequalities are shaped by different aspects of temporal dynamics, including life-course timing and shifting historical contexts. Prior to joining the Stone Program, Daumler received his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Michigan. His research has received funding and grant support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, and the American Sociological Association.

As a Stone Postdoctoral Fellow, Daumler's research will examine how changes to the political economy of wealth have affected the economic foundation of families. Drawing on a unique combination of institutional and demographic theories, Daumler's research will investigate a key pathway by which government policies directly affect the wealth of American families—and maintain systems of racialized wealth inequality.
