MacKenzie Christensen is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Oregon. Her research explores the role of digital technologies—both within the United States and cross-nationally—in shaping gender inequality across the life course. She approaches these issues using a range of methodologies, including latent class analysis, meta-analysis, and in-depth interviews, and draws on data that spans national and cultural contexts. Her work has been published in journals such as American Sociological Review, Social Science Research, Criminology, and Journal of Family Issues.
She holds an A.A. in Liberal Arts from Spokane Falls Community College (2013), a B.A. in Sociology from Washington State University, Vancouver (2015), an M.S. in Sociology from Portland State University (2018), an M.A. in Demographic and Social Analysis (2022), and a Ph.D. in Sociology (2024), both from the University of California, Irvine.
