About me

I am an assistant professor in the department of economics at the University of Utah and the book review editor for Feminist Economics.

My research is in feminist economics and focuses on a variety of topics including caring labor, public policy, history of economic thought, methodology, and pedagogy.

Outside the office you'll find me knitting in local yarn shops, cross-country skiing in Utah's mountain trails, visiting my family in Maine, or pampering my tiny dog.

I recently gave a seminar with the FemQuant research network. You can watch it here (or read the corresponding paper):

Read this Business Insider article in which I am quoted about the limitations of remote work in closing gender gaps:

Remote work has been a mixed bag for women when it comes to pay. But it's helped some men be 'overemployed' and make six figures.Remote work has helped women's progress toward equal pay, but it's had a mixed impact on women's career advancement.
