Biography
Research Overview: My research is concerned with the dynamics of housing systems in the United States: how does landownership, housing investment, and property usage evolve over time, and what are the consequences of these dynamics for housing affordability and urban inequality in contemporary cities? Currently, my research is focused on the development of new data and novel computational tools for mapping the shifting landscape of landownership, and the development of theoretical frameworks for understanding how and why rental landownership evolves.
Teaching: My teaching has focused on urban sociology and topical courses about the contemporary U.S. housing crisis, as well as general introductions to sociological theory.
