I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Kansas.  I received a PhD in Sociology from Princeton University in 2007. My current research examines the determinants and consequences of military service in the U.S., focusing on differences by race/ethnicity and gender. My research interests include social inequality and stratification, social demography, military sociology and quantitative methodology.  Some of my work has appeared in the American Sociological Review, Armed Forces & Society, Social Forces, Social Science Quarterly, Political Analysis, and Research in Social Stratification and Mobility.
