Social Networks,
Political Sociology
|
|
| I received my B.A. from Oberlin College in 1993, and my Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Arizona in 2000. My theoretical interests surround processes of social network formation and diffusion. My research interests focus on political sociology, particularly the impact of social networks on political behavior. My dissertation assesses the relative impact of rational decisionmaking and social networks upon support for bills in the United States Congress.
