My work aims to expand equity in postsecondary opportunities and improve postsecondary outcomes for marginalized groups. In particular, my research focuses on three strands of scholarship: (1) the cultivation of inclusive organizational cultures; (2) critical and intersectional perspectives of social class; and (3) the role of place, space, and social origin in higher education. In addition to these lines of inquiry, much of my research has paid attention to four particular social groups: (1) first-generation students, (2) low-income students, (3) Indigenous students, and (4) rural students.
