Effect of parental incarceration stigma on teachers' assessment of students and their work.
This project explores the role of associative stigma for children of incarcerated parents in the persistent education gap. This project will use an experimental design to identify causal relationships as well as the pathways through which this effect occurs. Data was collected between 10/2020 and 04/2021, 2 manuscripts have been published, and additional manuscripts are under review.

Risk of mortality by police for those with disabilities.
In this project, which I'm working on in collaboration with Dr. Frank Edwards and Dr. Lauren Brinkley-Rubinstein, we're using the Fatal Encounters data to explore the risk of mortality by police for those with disabilities. We're employing demographic techniques, including life table analysis, to calculate life time risks of police by mortality for various groups. We have completed a pilot and submitted an R01 application for consideration for funding.
