Barnard College Profile

Ananat will analyze survey data from over 1,000 low-wage service workers with young children to understand their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. She will explore job and income changes, material hardships, and support from established and pandemic-specific government programs.

I study the intergenerational dynamics of poverty and inequality. I'm writing a book with a co-author Anna Gasman pines of Duke University. We have been following a set of about 1,000 working families in the city of Philadelphia.
