Assistant Professor
Overview
My research focuses on questions regarding inequality on various levels including race and ethnicity, education, neighborhoods, health, immigration, and criminal justice contact in the U.S. I rely on mostly restricted nationally representative longitudinal data and quantitative methods. My work has been published in Social Forces, Social Science Research, Race and Social Problems, and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. I received my B.A. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In addition, I have been a fellow of the National Science Foundation and the Institute for Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education.
