Biography
Year of Entry: 2023
Macy is a second-year PhD student in the Department of Sociology. Broadly speaking, her research interests lie at the intersection of education, family, work, and gender. Specific projects address topics such as the experiences of immigrant newcomer students, how school administrators and teachers navigate their roles, and care work. Her current project uses survey data and quantitative methods to examine the intersection of work and family for parents who perform paid, highly interactive care work such as teaching, healthcare, and social services. She is also a pre-doctoral affiliate at the Annenberg Institute for School Reform and a pre-doctoral NICHD fellow at the Population Studies and Training Center.
