About
My primary research interest is in sociological aspects of consumer behavior and marketing, particularly the consequences of social inequality along lines of gender, race, and social class. My research investigates social inequality in the marketplace and addresses public policy and social movement initiatives designed to alleviate it. My research has appeared in leading marketing journals, including the Journal of Consumer Research, the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, and Consumption, Markets & Culture, as well as journals in sociology and public health.
