Social inequality and poverty, labor markets, gender inequality, work and occupations
CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS
I study the patterns, sources, and consequences of inequality in advanced industrial societies. Much of my work explores how the division of labor organizes the distribution of life chances, attitudes and beliefs, and lifestyles across time, space, and generations. Other work focuses on gender inequality in the labor market.
