Biography:

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Pennsylvania State University. I am also a recipient of the Susan Welch/Nagle Family Graduate Fellowship for the 2019-20 academic year.

My research focuses on how institutionalized constraints in the workplace perpetuate gender inequalities in the private sphere (i.e., the allocation of housework). My research agenda also focuses on the relationships between institutional constraints and demographic crisis in East Asia.

My work has appeared in the Journal of Marriage and Family and the Journal of Adolescent Health. Recent work on institutional supports for women and second births in Korea is forthcoming at Social Forces.
