While the lab started recently, it has built on earlier work that the PI has done measuring class perceptions, which are a necessary foundation to studying class-based discrimination. Those publications are listed below. The lab aims to publish work in top social science journals across four major areas:
- Measuring and addressing class-based discrimination (i.e. povertyism)
- Improving how we measure public opinion of the poor and uneducated
- Understanding the attitudes and behaviors of homeless people
- Addressing #firstgen issues and representation in the academy
