About

I am Assistant Professor of Sociology (and, by courtesy, Psychology and Neuroscience) at Duke University.

My research is centered on structural and social-psychological solutions to problems of cooperation, collective action, and social order. Much of my work is motivated by my interest in understanding the roles of micro-level attitudes and behaviors in shaping macro-level outcomes. My methodological approach is quantitative and relies largely on experimental data. I direct the SSoC Lab at Duke.

Here is my email address, office phone number (good luck), mailing address, Google Scholar page, and CV. My published papers are available here.

Prior to joining Duke, I was Assistant Professor of Organizational Studies and Psychology (by courtesy) at the University of Michigan. I received my Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina.

I have three kids and four cats. They keep me pretty busy, but in any additional “free time”, I’m also a runner, beginner violinist, and devoted New York Times reader.
