About
My research focuses on racial inequalities in students’ schooling experiences and outcomes, spanning early childhood, K-12, and higher education. I am particularly interested in the intersection of race- and class-based forms of educational inequality and the implications of such inequalities for patterns of socioeconomic attainment and intergenerational mobility. As an affiliate of the Center for Demography and Ecology (CDE), I have begun to investigate how the disparities that I am interested in are related to racial differences in family processes such as fertility timing and household composition.
