Welcome

Welcome! My name is Chloe Rosenstock (she/her), and I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying how cultural perceptions reinforce stratification.

My current research focuses on how perceptions of expertise and legitimacy in care-work lead to stratified outcomes. My other strain of research investigates how elites’ perceptions of poverty impact parenting decisions and public action.

Before starting my doctoral program, I received a bachelor’s degree from University of California, Los Angeles in Sociology and Labor Studies. I worked as a labor organizer with UAW 4811 (formerly 2865), engaged in street-outreach to encampments across Los Angeles, and as a library assistant in academic and public libraries.

I am passionate about housing for all, economic justice, harm reduction, a feminist care ethic, and public academia.
