Curriculum Vitae | |
I joined the LSU Department of Sociology in 2004, after completing my graduate studies at Penn State. My research interests are in the areas of poverty and inequality, rural sociology, social demography, and work and labor markets. My research has appeared in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of the Interior, and other sources. Recent and ongoing projects include studies of working poverty and other forms of underemployment; household livelihood strategies, including participation in the informal economy (i.e., unrecorded work for cash, barter, and/or self-provisioning); persistent poverty in the Texas Borderland and the Mississippi Delta; and labor market restructuring and place-based social vulnerability in the Gulf Coast region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
