I am a quantitative sociologist interested drawing attention to the analytic insights of multiracial feminist theory for social science research methods. A major theme of her research concerns how social science research practices, particularly those that are quantitative, often result in narratives that obscure diversity and reproduce social inequalities. A second stream of research focuses on the prevalence and correlates of intersectional discrimination (i.e., discrimination based on multiple social statuses). And my current research brings an intersectional analytic and theoretical framework to the study of social identities and political consciousness.
