Research Abstract |
My research examines gender, race, and family inequality in education and the labor market, and I am particularly interested in how physical characteristics are translated into social inequality. I am currently involved in projects examining the role of marriage and children in creating gender wage inequality in Norway, the implications of racial fluidity for inequality in the United States, and the overrepresentation of men in mathematics and the sciences. | |
