About
Eunice is a joint doctoral student in Sociology and Public Policy. She is interested in the relationship between financial behavior and socioeconomic mobility, and the experience of state attempts to shape financial behavior, particularly for people with low incomes and other minoritized populations. She plans to examine the social construction of financial literacy policies and programs. One of the questions she hopes to examine is why interventions in the U.S. have been constructed around the individual, and whether changes in individuals’ financial behavior impact their relationships to other social actors.
Before joining the department, she worked in public opinion research in D.C. Prior to that, she conducted research for a research and evaluation firm focused on social policies and programs that impact people with low incomes in the U.S.
