Kody Steffy studies how research quality is defined and evaluated, with particular attention to the field of economics and the practices of academic researchers. Related work examines the working lives and career paths of underemployed college graduates and junior scholars, drawing on sociological perspectives. The research often looks at how cultural values, social class, and gender shape both academic careers and how research is judged.
After an early cluster in 2017 and a gap around 2018-2020, publication activity has been steady at roughly one paper per year since 2021.
