My work addresses the ways in which social inequalities are created or maintained through individual, familial, and structural characteristics. Social inequality drives my focus because it highlights tensions between the ideals of meritocracy and the reality of social constraints that individuals face and negotiate. In particular, I focus on how these contradictions affect outcomes for different racial and ethnic groups, especially the outcomes for Mexican-origin individuals in the United States.
