| I received my B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972. I studied sociology at Columbia where I earned my Ph.D. in 1978, and spent a year in Columbia's Mathematical Statistics department, earning an M.A. in 1975. I taught at the University of Chicago, was a visiting scholar at the University of California, San Diego and was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences before coming to Duke in 1988. I have also been a fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in Wassenaar, the Netherlands, a visiting professor the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, a visiting professor at the Social Sciences Research Center Berlin, and a visiting professor at the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin, where I continue to have an affiliation as research professor. My main research interests concern social stratification and mobility, organizations and labor markets, demography, and quantitative methodology. I currently am the secretary/treasurer for the Research Committee 28 of the International Sociological Association, am a board member of the methodology section of the American Sociological Association, and serve on the publications committee of the ASA. In recent years I have taught Social Inequality , Methods of Social Research, Organizations and Management, Social Statistics II, Computers and Society, and various courses in the area of Social Stratification.
