My research explores the processes associated with social mobility among young black adults, and how these processes are shaped by gender, race, and class. I am currently working on a project that examines how a group of college black men use the concept of brotherhood to foster social mobility. In August I will join the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, and the African and African American Studies Program at the University of Arkansas.
