Assistant Professor of Sociology at UIC

I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois-Chicago. I am also an external affiliate of the University of Chicago's Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility and the University of Washington's Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology. My core research agenda concerns how urban economic development and social inequality affect one another. More specifically, I study the causes and consequences of commercial development in immigrant communities, gentrifying neighborhoods, and gayborhoods.
