I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology & Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware. My research examines the intersection of social inequality and the welfare state. My book manuscript, Everything is Broken: Childcare and Inequality in the US (forthcoming with the University of California Press) examines how families navigate the contemporary childcare crisis and the implications for socioeconomic, racial, and gendered inequality.
My work appears in outlets including the American Journal of Sociology, Social Problems, RSF: The Russell Sage Journal for the Social Sciences, The Sociological Quarterly, MSNow, and The Washington Post and has received awards, including the James Thompson Student Paper Award from the American Sociological Association and the Poverty, Class, and Inequality Division Student Paper Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Sociological Association.
I received my PhD in Sociology from Brown University.
