About
Working primarily at the intersection of economic and cultural sociology and gender studies, I study how societies value people and things. I have examined the cultural and gendered foundations of markets, aesthetic labor, the social foundations of knowledge in the global scouting of models and athletes, zero-priced goods and “free stuff,” consumption and elites, and theoretical implications of qualitative methods in the sociology of culture.
