Research Agenda
Comparative research on inequality, employment, and social policy.
Recent Projects
- Inequality in crisis, comparing welfare regimes during the Great Recession and Covid period across OECD countries.
- Gendered labor market trajectories and the organization of care and employment.
- Global fertility decline, demographic transitions, and social policy responses.
- Capacity building, and institutional support for minority serving institutions.
Approach
I study how systems of inequality are formed, sustained, and sometimes undone. My work integrates sociological theory with computational and mixed-methods analysis to connect data with lived experience. Each project follows methodological transparency and serves public relevance, with a core commitment to reducing structural harm.
