Research

My research broadly rests at the intersection between law, globalization, and stratification. Specifically, across a range of sites and different levels of analysis, it interrogates the ways in which law and legal institutions create, continue, and counter different kinds of socio-economic inequalities. These motivations and interests have resulted in four interrelated areas of empirical inquiry, as I elaborate below. Together, they aim to ask: what frameworks can law offer for understanding social change and vice versa?
