Areas of Research Interest: Quantitative Methods, Organizations, Voluntary Associations
|
Current Research Interests: My primary research explores aspects of voluntary association membership, participation, and group composition. This research uses and tests ideas from social network theory -- most notably the concept of homophily (the propensity for similars to associate). I also enjoy working on interesting collaborative projects that allow me to utilize my programming skills.
