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 loves me some Orgtheory. Although my work most prominently overlaps with Brayden’s and Kieran’s (Brayden and I disagree enough on theoretical orientation and substance while agreeing on much else, to make it interesting), the site is a combination of latest-greatest published work, thoughtful social science insights to current events, and how to get through graduate school. You should look at their work often and well. It’s good to great.
Plus, Fabio has the single best post of the political season. All the posts after (and there are many insightful and more accurate ones) make this one even better.

This site is hand-woven, and heavily borrows from the wonderful blueprint framwork. Rock on, grids!
Not quite

Thanks Peter. Conversations with someone who’s just a little theoretically off are always the best kind.
Wish I were in the city for Thursday’s lunch.

Don’t you have use of the Kellogg private jet now, Brayden?

I’m pretty sure that jet is reserved for the faculty teaching the executive ed program. What you mean is the Kellogg stretch Audi Q7.

What Peter is not telling you, Brayden, is that I have lobbied for a split-screen, periodic vidcast whereby the lunches can be extended into space and time, and re-peopled. Peter has said that he will not do it, for vanity reasons. I open the issue for discussion.
