Biography
Dr. Solsona (Sabadell, 1955), Economist (UB, Barcelona, 1983), Master in Social Studies of Population (CELADE, Chile, 1986) and PhD. in Human Geography (UAB, Bellaterra, 1991). Lecturer in Demography, Geography Department, Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). Associate Researcher at Demographic Studies Centre (CED).
I have directed different researches and PhD. dissertations in the field of the family and divorce, gender, and sexual and reproductive health. In the last years I have given courses of Demography and Gender in several foreign universities (Brazil, Japan and Senegal).
My current research is about Multiple Living Spaces and Time Use in Families after Divorce in Spain. The aim of this project is to study time use (everyday and non-recurrent work and leisure activities) and living spaces (place where these activities are carried out) of members of single parent and reconstituted as compared to dual parent families from two perspectives: gender and double families of children.
