I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Virginia. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs and have held visiting researcher positions at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, Germany, and the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris, France. I earned my PhD from the University of California San Diego.
My research has appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as Social Problems, Review of International Political Economy, Journal of Common Market Studies, and Comparative Politics. It has received attention from outlets such as The Financial Times and Bloomberg as well as external funding from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy.
I’m currently completing a book titled Why Carbon Taxes Failed. Outside of academia, I have worked with various think tanks, organizations, and governments.
