About

I study the changing world of work, and what those changes mean for intergroup inequalities, organizations, and markets. In my dissertation research, I show how young workers manage uncertainty and create meaning through participation in labor and financial markets. I also study how political polarization manifests as tension at work.

I use mixed methods, often pairing survey data to establish trends in behavior with interviews to uncover social psychological and organizational mechanisms. I am skilled in computational text analysis, which I use to study culture at scale.

My research has won awards from the University of California and the London School of Economics, and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, UC San Diego Today, The Last Show podcast, and ASA’s Economic Sociology section newsletter. Coverage of my work before graduate school leading start-up nonprofit organizations can be found in the Guardian and in the Washington Post.
