work focuses on aspects of racial stratification related to housing and
neighborhoods. She has studies racial inequalities in homeownership trends,
racial disparities in real estate and mortgage lending outcomes, and the
implications of residential mobility patterns for racial segregation, immigrant
assimilation and health outcomes. She is currently studying the impacts of the
housing crisis on the Inland Empire, particularly focusing on neighborhood
change resulting from foreclosures.</FONT></FONT></P>
