Research
My research interests include inequality, gender, work, family, and social policy. In my research, I explore 1) class disparities in access to family-friendly workplace supportiveness, 2) gender inequality in the labor market, and 3) organizational contexts of the work-family interface. My work has been published in journals including Social Science Research, American Sociological Review, and Population and Development Review. My paper has won the 2023 IPUMS Time Use Research Award.
