My scholarship is situated at the intersection of applied developmental psychology, education and innovative statistical practices.  In my work, I explore the effect of social relationships among peers on the development of children and adolescents, employing theories and methods from social and developmental psychology, sociology, economics, and statistics. I approach this work using ecological and developmental systems frameworks, and follow two primary lines of inquiry: (1) exploring selection and socialization effects of peers in school settings, and (2) using analytic techniques drawn from other disciplines to make stronger causal inferences about the direct and indirect paths that link social practices and policies with child and youth developmental outcomes.
