Research Interests

My scholarly work investigates social inequalities through a variety of lenses, most often by studying communities, charitable giving, emerging adulthood, religion, and spatial context. As a theoretically-informed empirical researcher, I am drawn to the intersections of topics, disciplines, and subfields. In my efforts to think, study, and learn broadly, I often investigate topics at the nexus between sociology and other disciplines, such as philanthropy.
