I am a graduate student in sociology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. My research interests include political sociology, demography, and the philosophy of social science.
Current more specific interests include intergenerational wealth transfers (my MA thesis topic); labor and immigration; causal inference; and the war on terror. I am also working on a project with Felix Elwert on the race crossover in the old-age mortality of blacks and whites in the U.S.
Non-academic interests include children's and young adult literature. I edited IraqiGirl: Diary of a Teenage Girl in Iraq, forthcoming from Haymarket Books in April, and I am now blogging at Underage Reading.
