Research interests

My research follows two related trajectories: one in the area of racial and gender inequality in American workplaces and several collaborative projects developing different aspects of my areas of methodological expertise—personal narrative analysis and ethnography. Currently, I am working on an oral history project with an anti-racist and feminist clerical union that began in the 1960s at UC Berkeley.
