My research is about how people decide who should get what: who to admit to college, hire for a job, select for a scarce opportunity. In these decisions, I largely focus on how people judge what is fair and how they weigh information about candidates’ circumstances. I run experiments with lay participants, college admissions officers, working professionals, and other decision makers. Across this work, I aim to understand why opportunity-based inequalities persist, often despite genuine intentions to address them.
