My major research interests include social stratification and inequality, economic sociology, demography, racial and ethnic relations, and East Asian societies.

I am currently doing research on an organizational model of the class structure; the effect of vocabulary score on the Black-White wage gap in the US; ethnic differentials in socioeconomic outcomes among Whites in the US; and a review of the sociology of Asian Americans. I teach courses on statistics and research methods, racial and ethnic relations, demography, and social stratification.
