Hi, I'm Katy, a sociology Ph.D. candidate and Paul F. Lazarsfeld Fellow at Columbia University. I use quantitative and qualitative methods to study how economic stagnation, technology, and labor markets impact what work looks like and how it is changing.
I am a graduate research fellow at the Columbia Labor Lab and the Columbia Center for Political Economy, an Incite Institute Doctoral Dissertation Fellow, and part of the Worker Empowerment Research Network based between the Cornell ILR School and MIT Sloan.
Previously I worked as a strategic researcher in the labor movement. I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Industrial and Labor Relations and a minor in Near Eastern Studies. I speak English, Arabic, and some Spanish.
