Julian Montoro-Rodriguez , Ph.D.
Case Western Reserve University, Ohio 1994 Professor Montoro-Rodriguez completed his Ph.D. in Sociology at Case Western Reserve University in 1994 on a Fulbright scholarship from Spain. He has joined the Sociology Department at CSUSB to teach social gerontology and research methodology. During the past few years his research was aimed at examining the interrelations between formal and informal support systems and optimal adaptation and adjustment to developmental changes for older adults. His recent work attempts to identify those conditions under which older adults and their families would increase community-based service use, in particular the implications of cultural inequalities (race, gender, socioeconomic status) as generators of distress for older adults. His interest also includes the role that cultural interpretations of difficult life experiences (such as depression or other health problems) might have on ethnic differences in levels of care giving distress and/or wellbeing.
