Work changes, but not evenly. I study how skills and tasks diffuse across the occupational hierarchy.

I study how the skills and tasks required at work change over time, and how these changes contribute to inequality across occupations.
My broader research examines how social networks shape the spread of change and the persistence of relationships.
