Biography

Isabel Pike is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at McGill University, specializing in topics related to gender, development, demography, and family dynamics. After receiving her PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020, she spent time as an Assistant Professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. Pike’s current research centers on the themes of gender inequality and development, with a focus on narratives surrounding the 'forgotten boy child' in Kenya and how these narratives impact policy and development discourse. She employs both quantitative and qualitative research methods to examine how gender and economic status shape life courses, particularly in the context of relationships and work. Prior to her academic career, she gained practical experience working with the UN World Food Programme in several African countries. Her diverse background enriches her academic explorations in the field of sociology.
