I am a sociologist who works in the areas of education and inequality, with a particular interest on first-generation/working-class college students and the burdens of social mobility.  I began my career looking at the experiences of working-class college students and then moved to a focus on how class background affected college outcomes.  One of my current projects takes this even further, with a focus on how class background affects graduate school training and career success in academia.  Mostly, I conduct research using qualitative methods - interviewing people, conducting focus groups, and performing content analyses of institutional and archival material.  A big fan of sociology and what it can do not just for society and public policy making but also for those who take it on as a discipline, I am pleased to teach core courses such as Sociological Theory and Qualitative Research Methods.  I also teach courses on class and inequality whenever I get the chance, including our newly revised Education and Inequality.
