She uses an intersectional and interdisciplinary lens to examine how aspects of social identity—including race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality, and social class—shape experiences of mistreatment, mindfulness, and compassion in the workplace. She researches these topics from the perspectives of underrepresented, under-served, and under-studied communities, including employees who are people of color, immigrants, sexual minorities and/or lower-income. She also writes about strategies to make teaching and research methods more inclusive.
