My research and teaching interests explore the ways in which social inequalities are created or maintained through individual, familial, and structural characteristics. I am interested in Latinx sociology, family and work, higher education, and professional development. I focus on a wide range of issues including inequalities in the division of household labor within families, differences in higher education for graduate students, and gender and racial differences in work. My research lab, Social Problems Research Lab, gives students hands on experience with data collection, management, and analysis, and prepares them for graduate school.
