Passed my dissertation defense! Since it’s official, I’m excited to also share that I’ll be starting a postdoc PSTC at Brown University this Fall! Thanks so much again to my committee and to everyone who supported me through the PhD journey!!



This week on the Contexts Magazine blog, @bonniersiegler & Greer Mellon discuss their @SocEducation study on the mechanisms behind anti-Asian school preferences. Check it out here: contexts.org/blog/anti-asia… Columbia University Brown University ASA Sociology of Education

SUPER happy to share this paper, many years after Kate Khanna , @greermellon and I started this work using my diss data! In it, we argue that "intermediate educational transitions" are an important, understudied aspect of higher ed inequality. 1/4 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Excited to share a new co-authored Annenberg Institute at Brown working paper with Emily Rauscher and Susanna Loeb! We provide new evidence that school spending reduces child mortality, using data from close tax elections. edworkingpapers.com/ai24-1008


Excited to head to Montreal for ASA Sociology #Asa2024! Looking forward to presenting new findings from my research on female representation in corporate boardrooms, and to connecting with other sociologists researching organizations, inequality, and education!

📢 New paper from Annenberg affiliates Emily Rauscher Susanna Loeb and postdoc Greer Mellon #EdWorkingPapers edworkingpapers.com/ai24-1008


Thrilled that this paper with Christina Ciocca Eller and Kate Khanna is finally out in @SocEducation! We examine how colleges could better support students through "intermediate educational transitions", such as major declaration, to reduce inequality in educational attainment.

Applications are open for the Annenberg Institute at Brown postdoc Brown University! It’s an incredibly supportive academic community- I’ve loved my time here. If you're applying, feel free to reach out/DM with questions!

Grateful to be in-person Brown University this week to meet with colleagues and attend talks by C. Kirabo Jackson at Annenberg Institute at Brown - a scholar whose work has had such a large impact in shaping my research interests.
