Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow, Sociology Dept, University of Chicago, IL
A sociologist specializing in gender, law, and qualitative methods, I am interested in researching and teaching about intersections of inequality.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago, where I currently teach and research in the Sociology Department and am an affiliate scholar with the Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality.
Land Acknowledgement
The University of Chicago is located on the traditional unceded homelands of the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. Many other tribes such as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and Meskwaki (Sac & Fox) also called this area home. The region has long been a center for Indigenous people to gather, trade, and maintain kinship ties. Today, one of the largest urban American Indian communities in the United States resides in Chicago. Members of this community continue to contribute to the life of this city and to celebrate their heritage, practice traditions, and care for the land and waterways.
