Marx has sustained an active research agenda that includes publications in prestigious journals including: Sociology Education, The Journal of Gerontology, Academy of Management Review, Teaching Sociology, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and The American Sociologist. He has written on a variety of topics from the consequences of moving on children’s health/school performance to the problems that elderly confront in “downsizing”.
