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’m tempted to start id’ing myself as Derwin over at WhatIsTheWhat…Thanks for the redesign love, it took many more hours than I would have thought, and there are some clever backend hacks in it as well.

Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin’s Revenge)
Verse 1
Access to her cove, lovestruck was my mode
Took a look, dropped my textbook, Jenifa…oh!
Breakfast - broke it fast, she was in my English class
Asked for notes, rocked my boat, Jenifa…oh!
Jenny lost her favorite penny, so I gave her a dollar
She kissed me and I hollered!
In a flash the schoolbell rang, Jenny grabbed onto my hand
Took me home and said “Trugoy just swing it swing it swing!”
Verse 2
The Downstairs where we met,
I’d brought records, she’d cassettes
Lost a break, found her shape, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Transcripts showed more than flirt,
“I love daisies” read her shirt
Grabbed my jeans, Jimmy screamed, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Morals shaped like the floss,
no-one could live their life for Pos
Found her house, aroused my joust, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Her clothes I did shuck,
just like Dan I strictly stuck
To the punt, she cried “Kick it!”, Posdnous was in
Jenny only thought about Jimmy, but asked was I a virgin
Like some kid named Derwin?
She said, “Let’s try it in the bathroom”, but the ‘nous is way above sinks
So to the kitchen she did dance and came back wrapped in Saran
Break
Now wait a minute! Little Derwin got somethin’ to show us that Jenny
could never do… (Listen…)
Hey! Look at little Derwin! Look at him go, look at him go!
Awwwwww…Baby!
Verse 3
Positions, muscles flexed, Dove was lost in a Ghana hex
Passed her test, felt her teddy, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Notions soothed the mood, Dove was lost in De La heaven
Scream Plug 2, did the do, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Jenny teased my homeboy Danny,
in fact she teased so many
She was known as a garden tool
No more I dispatch, was it Jimmy had met his match?
Or could it be the realization all girls owned a Jenny?
For normal health I have fought, a valuable lesson she hath taught
Don’t flaunt that the candy is good unless you can get plenty.
