My research and teaching interest center on the pathways that link structural disadvantages to the well-being of marginalized populations. Research wise, I enjoy using advanced multilevel and structural equation modeling techniques in two lines of research. My first line of work examines how school factors impact academic achievement among Canadian youth. In addition, I am interested in how residential segregation, income inequality, neighborhood disorder, and discrimination stress impact the life chances (e.g., health, death from homicide) of African Americans and Latinos in the U.S.
