In the second line of research, her work examines how children and siblings manage the stress stemming from incarceration. Her research has been published in outlets such as Sociological Perspectives, The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, and The Journal of Latinos and Education. Additionally, her work has been funded by the American Sociological Association, the Mellon Mays Foundation, and the Social Science Research Council.
