My work is largely transdisciplinary in that I draw from and combine multiple discipline-specific theories, concepts, and methods from sociology, political science, Black studies, and others, to come to a unique conceptual framework that addresses questions of social inequity.

I currently have three main lines of research. The first considers political and policy determinants of health where I investigate the effect political and policy factors have on aggregate and individual health outcomes. The second is centered on population health, inequity, and intersectionality where I investigate how forms of inequity, such as racism and homophobia, create disparate population health outcomes, often intersecting with one another. Finally, my research investigates broad questions of community, wellbeing, and health. In this work, I explore how people of color and LGBTQ+ people cope with and challenge inequality, and how specific types of social support and social interactions affect health.
