I am an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

My research examines how organizations and individuals engage with diversity and difference, especially as it pertains to race and ethnicity. I’m interested in contestation over what diversity means, how organizations portray and deploy diversity claims, the value that is attributed to individuals’ “contributions to diversity”, and how people make sense of the social differences in their surroundings. I hope to deepen our understanding of social evaluation, labor market dynamics, status hierarchies, and the politics of categorization.

I received my PhD in Sociology from Princeton University, where I also discovered a fondness for interdisciplinary research through the Office of Population Research and two social psychology labs. As a result, I use a variety of quantitative methods and data sources, but have a soft spot for experiments.
