Jennifer is the Stanley J. Bernstein Assistant Professor of Sociology at Brown University and a faculty affiliate at Brown's Population Studies and Training Center, Spatial Structures for the Social Sciences, and Urban Studies Program. In 2019-20, she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Harvard University.
Her broad research and teaching interests are in stratification, urban sociology, race/ethnicity, and sociology of education. Her work is guided more generally by understanding connections between people and places, with a broad research agenda that investigates dynamics of neighborhood and urban change and inequality, as well as how social and spatial contexts, like neighborhoods and schools, shape opportunities and produce racial/ethnic, health, and economic inequality. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Spencer Foundation, National Academy of Education, and Russell Sage Foundation, among others.
