Welcome!

I study how the value of representation shapes social inequality. I focus on the topical areas of 

• Race and ethnicity

• Gender and sexuality

• Religion

• Class

• Incarceration

using methodologies like

• Conjoint experiments

• Surveys

• Qualitative and quantitative content analysis

• Computational text analysis

but as a social science researcher I often find myself working beyond these areas to answer the questions I care about. For this reason, I’m lucky to have found many wise friends in sociology and beyond who generously gift their time to the questions I want to ask and answer:

1. Why does representation matter?

2. How can we measure the impact of representation on inequality?
