Work/Research
- Directs the COVID-19 Social Change Survey, a nationally representative survey that tracks weekly changes in social, cultural, political, public opinion and public health behavior as a result of the pandemic
- Studies the relationship between Native American tribes and the state, focusing on how closed economic and governmental systems impact the financial and social well-being of the tribe and tribe members
- Investigates the impact of occupational licensing systems on inequality, finding formal licensure actually increases access for minorities by eliminating informal barriers that tend to encourage discrimination and homogeneity
