Dr. Carlston began as an Assistant Professor of Economics at Gonzaga University in 2022. Her research is primarily on the causes and consequences of intergenerational economic mobility. She is currently using several large administrative datasets to study the health consequences of intergenerational mobility in a research project funded with a Diversity Supplement from the NIH’s National Institute on Aging. Additionally, she researches economic history, particularly the economic outcomes for miners in the early 20th century.
Dr. Carlston brings her interest in inequality and mobility into the classroom by teaching her courses with a pluralistic approach to economics. She hopes to teach a critical approach to the discipline to her students to foster awareness in her students as they bring what they learn to their careers.
