Economic Sociology Sociology of Culture Organizations Social Theory
|
|
| 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.
