My passion for sociology centers on understanding and addressing systemic inequalities and social hierarchies. I am particularly focused on exploring:
• Social Class and Power: Investigating how wealth, privilege, and power shape societal structures and individual opportunities.
• Systemic Inequality: Analyzing disparities in education, housing, and access to resources through a critical lens.
• The Racial Contract: Examining the ways race and structural racism influence social systems and perpetuate inequality.
• Social Constructions of Identity: Studying how constructs like race, class, and gender intersect to shape lived experiences.
Through this lens, I aim to contribute to research and initiatives that promote equity and challenge oppressive systems.
