Hi, my name is Annette! 👋🏻

About

I am a PhD student at the Department of Sociology at University of California, Berkeley.

Interests

My research broadly focuses on how technology is changing work-based inequalities and regulations. I aim to integrate quantitative and computational methods with historical methods to examine the determinants and outcomes of present-day social welfare institutions.
