    Soc/Psych 331, WF 11:40 AM-12:55 PM

Research Interests:

My research interests are in economic sociology, culture, and organizations. I have written several articles and a book about gift and market exchange in human blood and organs. I’ve also published work on the relationship between information technology and culture, wage growth and unemployment in OECD labor markets, and debates about structure and agency in social theory. Right now I am interested in the moral order of market society, the effect of quantification on the emergence and stabilization of social categories, and the link between these two topics.

Areas of Interest:

Economic Sociology
Sociology of Culture
Organizations
Social Theory
