Research

My scholarship centers on how economic, political, and gender stratified contexts influence wellbeing, especially among women. I study various social phenomena related to (intimate partner) violence; sexual assault and abortion laws; and the neighborhood context of (adolescent) crime, health, and risk behaviors. My research involves the use of quantitative/statistical analysis (e.g., cross-sectional pooled time series, event history, HLM/HGLM), and qualitative content and discourse analysis of archival texts.
