I am a sociologist studying politics, inequality, and the internet. I am particularly interested in how cultural divisions become sources of political conflict and how digital platforms enable and constrain pro-social behavior online.

I recently published the article “Politics of Boundary Consolidation: Income Inequality, Ethnonationalism, and Radical-Right Voting” in Socius.

I am an author of the book GoFailMe: The Unfulfilled Promise of Digital Crowdfunding (Stanford University Press). You can find an op-ed about this research in The Conversation.
