Ever since I became a sociologist, I have prioritized qualitative research methodologies that capture the complexities of social life in context.
Within the sociology of childhood/adolescence, I use youth-centered qualitative methodologies to create platforms for children and adolescents’ voices to be heard. Specifically, I aim to develop a deeper understanding of youth peer culture in the context of social inequality.
Moreover, I practice a teaching-meets-research pedagogical approach, maintaining an active research agenda that incorporates undergraduate-student researchers from research design to publication.
Cindy, Thank you so much for your support! We are very excited about it. Youth's lives are continuously shaped by policy. So, their perspectives really matter. Thank you!
