My scholarship centers on how economic, political, and social contexts influence individuals' wellbeing, especially among women. I study various social phenomena related to (intimate partner) violence, sexual assault and abortion policy, adolescent health-risk behaviors, and the neighborhood context. My research involves the use of large-scale survey data sources, quantitative/statistical analysis (e.g., cross-sectional pooled time series, event history, HLM/HGLM), and content analysis of state laws. Additionally, my work includes academic writing/publishing, mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, and teaching courses in sociology and criminology at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Scholars have linked neighborhood characteristics to self-efficacy, but few have considered how gender factors into this association. We integrate literature on neighborhoods, gender stratification, and self-efficacy to examine the association between women's relative resources among neighborhood residents and adolescents' self-efficacy. We hypothesize that girls report more self-efficacy when they reside in neighborhoods where women have more socioeconomic resources relative to men. We test this hypothesis using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods and the 1990 Census. Results from multilevel regression models with gender-interacted effects indicate the neighborhood level of women's relative resources was not associated with boys' self-efficacy. However, girls reported higher self-efficacy when women's relative resources in their neighborhoods were greater. This association persisted after including potential individual- and neighborhood-level confounding variables. Our study underscores the importance of attending to gendered processes when understanding how neighborhoods impact youth.
