I study processes of stratification, higher education and inequality with primarily a U.S. focus. I began teaching at Wellesley in the fall of 1999 as a lab instructor for Quantitative Reasoning 199 (Introduction to Social Science Data Analysis). I finished my Ph.D. the following year and have remained at Wellesley ever since.
