Victoria Clarke’s research focuses on family dynamics, especially how same‑sex couples form families and raise children. She studies the everyday rules, communication patterns, and emotional bonds that shape parenting in these families. By comparing couples who share chores, talk about decisions, and support each other, she shows how strong teamwork leads to happier children. For example, a gay couple might decide together who takes care of the kids on a weekend, and this shared responsibility often improves both parents’ satisfaction and the kids’ sense of security.
