Bio
My research is broadly focused on understanding work and life course inequalities
in the United States, particularly as they occur during the transition to adulthood
and among individuals with disabilities. My research on work includes both paid employment
and other forms of productivity that may not be compensated in the market - including
care work, housework, and volunteering. I'm currently writing a book about internships
and the college-career transition.
