research
I examine how the forces of globalization and political economy shape inequality (both between and within countries) and gender relations.
My research agenda is oriented toward three classic sociological questions:
(1) how has the global reorganization of production near the turn of the last century affected developmental prospects for countries in the Global South,
(2) how do political and economic institutions shape distributional outcomes and attitudes toward inequality, and
(3) how do development and globalization shape gender relations and family systems.
Below, I list published papers and works in progress that belong to each line of research.
