Presentation
I am a sociocultural, ethnographic anthropologist, and hold a Ph.D. in applied anthropology from Columbia University in New York City. I study politics, economics, and value in the United States, and have done extensive field work on Catholic hermit monks, private equity and venture capital investors, employee-owned companies (ESOPs, specifically), automated and algorithmic trading on financial markets, and the Massachusetts State Legislature. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how wealth, work, and worry are generated, controlled, distributed, horded, allocated, and/or destroyed, all in the context of financial capitalism. In the future, I’m looking forward to spending more time studying democracies, how political systems change, and imagining ways to build a better world.
Primary research areas
