Sociology of Education, Quantitative Methods

Biography

I am primarily a sociologist of education, studying how upper-middle-class families exploit resource inequalities between schools to provide educational advantages for their children, as well as how school racial segregation matters for children outside of the traditional black-white dichotomy.

I also teach graduate-level statistical methods in the Psychology department.
