Research and Original Creative Work

My research uses developmental and sociological perspectives to examine how young people's social contexts influence their college and career outcomes, with a focus on how these contexts shape underrepresentation in higher education access, field of study, and degree attainment. In particular, this work examines how malleable high school and college micro-environments (including peers and faculty) and broader macro-contexts (policy, urbanicity, and culture) can differentially facilitate the realization of young people's college and career ambitions. These studies alternately employ secondary analysis of large-scale national longitudinal datasets and/or original research using participant observation, interview methodology, longitudinal surveys, and institutional/government data. My work centers on two focal strands of research: access to higher education and underrepresentation in STEM majors and careers. These strands share an aim to identify mechanisms that could be addressed through policy and institutional interventions to broaden the participation of women and men in higher education and scientific careers irrespective of their social background.
