I am a sociologist and ethnographer interested in social reproduction broadly conceived. As such, I work in areas including culture, education, the family, inequality, organizations, and social psychology. I seek to study, and theorize, the continuation and modulation of class, race, and gender disparities. I am also very invested in the rigorous use of qualitative methods.

In August 2025 I started as an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Indiana University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs and, before that, was a postdoctoral fellow at the Inequality in America Initiative, Harvard University. I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2022. Having grown up in the UK, I received my undergraduate and Master’s degrees from the University of Edinburgh and University of Cambridge, respectively.

My research has been funded by the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation and been published in academic journals including the American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology. These and other articles have received numerous awards from the American Sociological Association. I also have a book under contract with University of Chicago Press.
