I’m an assistant professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. My main research interests are the social impacts of technology, theorizing the web, gender, research methods, inequality and new media. I’m also interested in applying complex systems methods to sociological problems. You can find information about my research and some of my papers on this site.
