Early in her graduate career, Amber discovered she preferred people to physical processes and subsequently changed her research focus from climate change to the study of population. Her Master’s research, which examined excess female mortality, focused on spatial differentials in fertility and the sex ratio in India. This research prompted her to start examining the life course and she found that aging was a topic she wanted to know more about. Big picture concepts that interest her are the life course, meaning of place, and attachment to place. She is currently synthesizing these themes into a meaningful research project on how elderly immigrants view their homeland and the possibility of dying away from it. She is also interested in creative approaches to gerontological research and phenomenology.
