I examine inequalities related to gender and sexuality and the mechanisms that reproduce and challenge these inequalities in family and organizational contexts. 

To conduct my research, I have designed research material for lab and survey experiments, in-depth interviews, and nationally representative surveys. ​

My dissertation  examined how women and men are evaluated when they break gendered marital name norms and whether norms are unevenly enforced based on couples’ economic resources.  Click here and here to see press coverage of my research on perceptions of men who take their wives' last names​.
