My broad research interests include sex and gender identity, roles, and inequality; socioeconomic stratification and inequality; race and ethnicity; higher education; work and occupations; science; educational and political philosophy; and research methods. My current research focuses on the effects of mass higher education, particularly community college attendance, on the long-term educational and occupational attainments of low-income women and their children. I am also examining the effect of higher education on women and men’s occupational trajectories and occupational segregation. Upcoming projects include studying gender, work, and power using qualitative and quantitative research methods.
