Beyond access: Racial and socioeconomic disparities in device use among youth with type 1 diabetes
Racial and socioeconomic disparities in medical device use among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are well documented. Inequities in access can arise in the unequal prescription of insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. Once prescribed, challenges to device use can also create inequities, but less is known about racial and socioeconomic disparities in post-access challenges such as barriers to use at school. Using focus gr…
Institutional role conflict in the digital age: The case of diabetes management at school
As the prevalence of pediatric diabetes grows and new technologies to manage diabetes emerge, there is increasing concern about consistency in health management across institutional settings, particularly in schools. While much is known about barriers at school, there are still gaps in understanding the institutional dynamics that shape health management in this setting. Using focus groups with 19 youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and applying ins…
Redefining Geek: Bias and the Five Hidden Habits of Tech-Savvy Teens
Sorting Machines: Digital Technology and Categorical Inequality in Education
Existing scholarship suggests that schools do the work of social stratification by functioning as “sorting machines,” or institutions that determine which populations of students are provided educational resources needed to help them get ahead. We build on this theory of social reproduction by extending it to better understand how digital technology use is implicated in this process of unequal resource allocation in schools. We contend that educa…

Institutional Ambiguity and De Facto Tracking in STEM
Background/Context Many schools no longer track classes to increase access to courses at all levels, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. However, informal processes can “de facto” track students, placing them at the same level across subjects. Research shows that de facto tracking is prevalent in STEM, especially between mathematics and science course placements. Less is known about the relationship betwee…
Digital Adaptability: A New Measure for Digital Inequality Research
Past research suggests the ability to adapt to technological change by learning new technologies is a core feature of technological competence and consequential for inequality. Yet there exists no definition or measure of what people do to learn technologies that are new to them and empirically link this to inequality. To address this gap, I conducted studies involving over 2,000 adolescents to develop and validate a measure of what I call “digit…

The Geek Instinct: Theorizing Cultural Alignment in Disadvantaged Contexts
From Dot-Edu to Dot-Com: Predictors of College Students' Job and Career Information Seeking Online
One of the key elements of understanding mechanisms of social stratification in job market entry is looking at the ways in which groups learn about careers and seek jobs in early adulthood. Online resources for job seeking are growing, yet we know very little about the nature of young adults' use of the Internet for this purpose. Are there types of people who utilize the Internet more than others? If so, are these patterns unique to the Internet …
