Eric Stone is a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland, College Park. His research is situated in the realm of family, health, and aging. Eric primarily uses quantitative methods to identify and explore patterns of inequality (and their consequences). His second-year paper focused on amounts and types of leisure as behavioral indicators of health and social integration. Using 2003-2017 American Time Use Survey data, he examined leisure activity differences between men and women in same-sex and different-sex couples. Eric's dissertation examined the stratification of end-of-life planning by sexuality and identified sources of heterogeneity in sexual minority Americans' end-of-life planning behaviors.
