Biography

I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at the College of William and Mary. My research investigates how social inequalities shape patterns of health outcomes and health disparities, particularly for racial and ethnic minority populations and recent immigrants.

Broadly, I teach and research topics related to racial and ethnic stratification, international migration, demography, computational methods, and the social determinants of health and illness.

In addition to teaching and research, I recently started a newsletter about health and health care in the United States.
