Preparing Students for Policy Careers

I have provided policy research and evaluation in non-academic settings, including the Congressional Research Service and the City and County of San Francisco, and I am eager to help interested students develop the skills for a host of careers in the social sector and to explore the possibilities of how they might contribute to social change.

Bringing Sociology to Public Policy

I want to work at the intersection of Sociology and Public Policy, believing that sociological knowledge, methods, and perspectives have much to offer current debates about envisioning a new economy, creating a more inclusive society, and preserving the world for generations to come. My approach to teaching and my scholarship both begin from the idea that Sociology can be used for real-world problem solving.
