COMMUNITY

I strive to ignite social change through critical intersectional research. My research agenda aims to understand and alleviate sexism, racism, and inequalities in STEM fields including technology and engineering, and I have worked with organizations on the design of inclusive networking and diversity programs. Please contact me if you or your organization is interested in such a collaboration.

​

As part of the UMass Amherst ADVANCE team, my collaborative work informs systemic and sustainable equity initiatives for STEM faculty. We combine social science research, programming, and policy initiatives to support gender and racial equity and inclusion in academic settings. We have collaborated with colleges and universities across the country on evidence-based supports for diverse faculty during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on equitable faculty evaluations.

​

I have worked closely with organizations on their public scholarship initiatives, including the Association for Women in Science, Sociologists for Women in Society, the Women in Engineering ProActive Network, and Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society. I aim to translate my research to broader audiences, including writing open access reports, campus tools, and columns for Inside Higher Ed. I have also given online webinars connecting my research findings to practice. Finally, at Signs, I helped develop open-access resources through the Feminist Public Intellectuals Project.
