about me

I am a sociologist and ethnographer interested in social reproduction broadly conceived. As such, I work in areas including culture, education, the family, inequality, organizations, and social psychology. I seek to study, and theorize, the continuation and modulation of class, race, and gender disparities. I am also very invested in the rigorous use of qualitative methods.

I am a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs and was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Inequality in America Initiative, Harvard University. I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. Having grown up in the UK, I received my undergraduate and Master’s degrees from the University of Edinburgh and University of Cambridge, respectively.

My research has been funded by the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation and been published in the American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology.
