About
I am a sociologist specializing in change and transformation within complex organizational and institutional settings. Broadly, I study how relationships between people and the systems they inhabit shape decision-making, behavior, and long-term outcomes. Using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, I connect individual actions to broader cultural and organizational patterns, grounding my analysis in historical and contextual understanding.
Research Methods
Qualitative: interviews, participant observation, comparative historical methods, archival research
Quantitative: social network analysis, sequence analysis, correspondence analysis, cluster analysis
