About
Welcome to my personal website!
I’m Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. My work studies the production of social inequality using statistical and computational methods.
My books include Divested: Inequality in the Age of Finance (with Megan Tobias Neely, Oxford University Press, 2020) and The Dating Divide: Race and Desire in the Era of Online Romance (with Celeste Curington and Jennifer Lundquist, University of California Press, 2021). My work has been covered in the New York Times, Washington Post, Harvard Business Review, and The New Republic.
I edit Socio-Economic Review, the official journal of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), and previously served as Deputy Editor at Demography.
My current projects examine what large language models can reveal about labor markets, and what prediction markets tell us about how societies form beliefs about their own futures.
