Academic Identity
I am assistant professor of Sociology at Barnard College. My book (and my dissertation research) is a comparative study of technology and futures trading, an ethnography of open outcry and electronic traders. My current research is on how art specialists price cultural commodities, particularly how categories and commensuration work in the secondary/resale fine arts market. I teach courses in economic sociology, organizations, and gender.
Professional Identity
I occasionally consult, focusing on organizational change, the future of technology and financial markets, and environmental markets. I do strategic assessments of markets, technology and organizational design, with qualitative and quantitative components. If you are interested, please email me.
Personal Identity
I grew up outside Chicago, and went to school(s) at Wesleyan University, USC, and Northwestern University. I currently live in New York, with a partner who is a marketing manager for an educational nonprofit. I love movies, like to cook, and I can do a mean lindy swing out. I am INTP.

I have seen the future…

…and it is the blissful taste of the Cara Cara Navel Orange. Also, there is a blog by Steven Jenkins, Fairway’s buyer. For all my complaining, there is quite a bit to say for living in Manhattan.

This site is hand-woven, and heavily borrows from the wonderful blueprint framwork. Rock on, grids!

I saw those were in Tony’s Produce Pack this week and considered buying them. Now I am filled with regret.

They end up being almost $2 apiece at Fairway, pricey to be sure. There’s an odd little basket of curious citrus next to the regular oranges, I want to try them all. I’ve only had the Meyer lemons, which are delicious with fresh fettuccine, arugula, creme fraiche and a little pasta water. The Cara Cara oranges are too fruity for this, seems best raw.
Look at me, restaurant week being over has created a vacancy chain!

I’ve seen that basket. I’m a long-term fan of the Meyer lemons. I also recommend them in a simple dressing on grilled salmon.
Have you noticed the $10 tubs of pomegranate seeds? Awesome. And then yesterday I was on 116th between 1 & 2 and those wonderful Chilean ladies sell them in Dixie cups for $1.
I will soon make a list of synonyms for “vacancy chain”.

I never really know what to do with pomegranate seeds - this is why I didn’t recognize them from the photo (grenade!). Do you eat them whole?
They have these as well, but honestly the chances of me making Candied Buddah’s Hand Citron is just less than zero..

I have never seen the Buddah’s Hand. And what a gross name, anyway.
Pomegranate seeds: many sauce recipes can be found. I often add a tablespoon to a glass of sparkling white wine, I add a bunch to my yogurt, and yes, you simply eat them whole–the seeds–not the pith.
I like to hunt and peck them out of the rind myself, but there are easier ways to do this.
