I am a sociologist studying politics, group boundaries, and digital platforms. I am particularly interested in how cultural divisions become sources of political conflict and how platforms enable and constrain prosocial behavior.

I recently published the article “Disrupting Philanthropy? A Reality Check for Digital Crowdfunding” in the Journal of Philanthropy (with Nora Kenworthy, Erik Schneiderhan, and Jeremy Snyder).

I am an author of the book GoFailMe: The Unfulfilled Promise of Digital Crowdfunding (Stanford University Press).
