My research is broadly concerned with how adolescents and young adults make sense of their place in society. Currently, one area of my research program explores how schools, families, peers, and communities influence the development of ethnic/racial identity, and how such identities shape youths' academic and psychological outcomes. A second area of my research explores the contributions of contextual and individual factors in the educational attainment of Latino youth across diverse U.S. communities.
