Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Louisiana State University. As a medical sociologist, family demographer, and inequality scholar, my areas of expertise include health and health disparities, race/ethnicity, gender, parenting, children, family, and quantitative methods. I have conducted research in the contexts of the U.S., India, and China.
My current research centers on how social inequalities in health and well-being are (re)produced within families and through workplace dynamics. One line of my work explores racial-ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in women's health and children’s outcomes. Another focus of my research is gender inequalities and women's well-being in India and China. I also study health inequalities based on sexual orientation and gender identity. I mainly apply quantitative methods, including structural equation modeling and causal inference techniques, to analyze cross-sectional and longitudinal data. My work has appeared in American Sociological Review, Demography, Social Science & Medicine, Society and Mental Health, Feminist Economics, and others. (Google Scholar, ResearchGate). |
