Chloe’s research agenda investigates the micro- and meso-level mechanisms that contribute to persistent gender inequalities in the contemporary United States. Methodologically, she uses in-depth interviews to capture how people encounter and make sense of gendered phenomena in their daily lives. In tandem with this qualitative approach, she employs survey experiments to isolate possible causal mechanisms that may promote inequalities, often drawing on insights gleaned from her interview data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
