Her award-winning research has been funded by the National Academy of Education, the Spencer Foundation, and the American Institutes for Research. Her writing and teaching are deeply informed by over fifteen years of professional experience in K-12 schools.

Her book, Unequal Lessons: School Diversity and Education Inequality in New York City, is forthcoming from NYU Press.
