Research Statement
My research revolves around substantive interests in identity, inequality, and citizenship, with a regional focus on Latin America. Broadly, I am interested in the processes of identity politicization, the causes and consequences of inequality, and how these shape the quality and exercise of citizenship. In my published an on-going research, I rely on quantitative and qualitative methods to make theoretical and empirical contributions to these areas of study. My first book project focuses on the consequences of educational expansion for racial identity formation and politicization in Brazil. My current project explores puzzling relationships between patterns of inequality and violence in contemporary Latin America.
