I use mixed methods to study: (i) how political dynamics shape education policy processes and outcomes, and (ii) how we might design policies to address pressing local, state, and national education issues. My current work focuses on the politics of school desegregation efforts, the implementation of state education policy, and factors shaping teacher recruitment and retention.

I study why companies share certain types of information in their financial reports, especially written content like environmental and social disclosures. I’m also interested in how different stakeholders understand and react to that information.

I study ethics:—the norms, principles, relationships, and practices that people use in trying to live well. I focus on religious ethics, especially in disciplines of life like monasticism, and I also work in environmental ethics and the environmental humanities more broadly, with a particular interest in literary studies. My first book is Thoreau's Religion (Cambridge, 2021).
