Welcome to my website!

This website is mostly about my scholarship and service and leadership roles.

Since I started my academic career, I have undertaken six main research projects:

The U.S. administrative state. Inspired in sociology, this project explores how to rebuild civil servants' expertise, ties with its private constituencies (“embeddedness”) , and legitimate authority after the Republican administration of 2024-28.

Alt-labor and worker centers. This project explores the power and promise of worker centers, applying sociological concepts such as social capital, symbolic capital, and moral economy.

Wage boards. Inspired by scholarly and policy debates on wage boards, this project produced a number of law review articles and book chapters on when and how wage boards can be effective instruments.

International framework agreements. This project, funded by the Regulating Markets and Labor Research Grant and the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research, produced two articles on the whether international framework agreements could be used to help unionize U.S. workers.

Labor inspectorates and labor courts. This research explored the institutional autonomy of labor inspectorates and labor courts in Chile.

Puerto Rico labor. This research, done as part of my PhD dissertation, explained how U.S. unions organized workers in Puerto Rico. It produced a host of related articles.
