She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Princeton University in 2013 and holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Columbia University. Currently, she researches attitudes towards income inequality and social welfare policies (preferences for redistribution). This ongoing work on policy preferences is divided into two lines of research: (1) diversity and migration, and (2) wealth, elites, and social mobility. More generally, her research focuses on how social stratification and economic inequality affect the development of beliefs, attitudes, and values through the lens of cross-national comparison. Her previous research includes in-depth studies of Brazil and China. She uses both quantitative and qualitative methods in her research, and she has a working knowledge of French, Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
