Research Interests

My research focus is on the impact of structural inequities (i.e., racism, sexism, discrimination and stigma) on health and education outcomes among people from underrepresented groups. My work has been funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Spencer Foundation. I am co-director of the Collective Health and Education Equity Research (CHEER) collaborative.
