My research investigates the role of work, occupations, and organizations on social inequality and discrimination, with a particular focus on gender and ethno-racial groups. I am interested in how inequality is created, maintained, and promoted through discrimination in different life domains e.g., employment, housing, and childcare. Using a sociological lens, I focus on the role of structural barriers on social action and individual outcomes. Particularly, how social processes (re)establish economic and social inequalities. Using statistical methods of causal inference and (quasi)experimental designs, my research aims to uncover the mechanisms that drive these inequalities in society with a specific focus on the forces and outcomes of migration.
