About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Organization at Copenhagen Business School and a faculty affiliate of Stanford University’s VMware Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab. I study gender, race, and social class inequality in the workplace and the labor force.

My research examines rising economic inequality in the U.S. through the lens of gender, race, and class. I pursued sociology after working in financial services from 2007-2010. This experience inspired me to study the mechanisms that reproduce workplace inequality on Wall Street and how the financial sector perpetuates inequality in society at large.

My work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, BBC, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Reuters, The Boston Globe, Publishers Weekly, Politico, Jacobin, The New Republic, AJ+, Current Affairs podcast, New Books Network, American Sociological Association's Work in Progress, Clayman Institute for Gender Research's Gender News, D&I in Practice, Economic Sociology and Political Economy, and the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice's Human Rights Working Paper Series.

My academic research is highly relevant to those in government, policy, and industry. I have been invited to present my work at the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development’s Overcoming Inequalities summit, Tax Justice Network conference, and TechCrunch Disrupt meeting.

From 2017-2020, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research and VMware Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab at Stanford University. In 2017, I graduated with a PhD in sociology from the University of Texas at Austin.

Divested: Inequality in the Age of Finance

Ken-Hou Lin and I identify how the expansion of the U.S. financial sector is a fundamental cause of rising economic inequality and has exacerbated the uneven distribution of resources according to gender, race, and social class.
