Research Interests
I study social inequality. All my research highlights some form of social inequality utilizing theoretical foundations to increase public understanding. I use theories from the conflict paradigm to show the individual-level and societal level outcomes of inequality in everyday practices and policies. Additional research interest areas are sociology of education, teaching and learning, and roots of social conflict.
