Hey folks! Glad to be over here. #Introduction time:

πŸŽ“ I'm a PhD student at Princeton in the Sociology and Social Policy program, affiliated with the Office of Population Research.

πŸŒ† I'm interested in questions of #spatialinequality and urban policy. How does place shape the life chances of individuals? What can we do to make this more equitable?

πŸ—ΊοΈ My background is in public policy/geography/econ, with a dose of open-source #rstats and #rspatial goodness.

Say hello!

@angela welcome πŸ™‚ #spatialinequality means stuff like Schelling's classic model of segregation or the question why most supply chains end in #China ?

@cas_group Great q! I think the term depends on the researcher and the field they're in. In the work I do in #sociology and policy in the US, it has to do residential segregation, neighborhoods, and income inequality. (Sociologists might also add beyond the Schelling model - see @crowder + Krysan's work for more https://www.russellsage.org/publications/cycle-segregation-0)

But, there are amazing ethnographers and comparative scholars in #sociology, #urbanplanning, #geography that do work on world systems + global supply chains!
