Jennifer's research presented at this year's annual meetings of the American Sociological Assoication in Chicago made headlines. Her dissertation research on public-sector employment inequality after the Great Recession shows that job cuts during and after the recession
disproportionately hurt black workers, especially woman, and increased racial disparity in the public sector.
