I am Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia and Chair of the Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality. My research and teaching focus on how economic trends – from commodification to job insecurity to automation – shape the way people forge connections and find meaning and dignity at home and at work. My current research, supported by the National Science Foundation, is a study of the standardization of work that relies on relationship, and has taken me from observing primary care in Virginia to juvenile detention classrooms in California to robots in Japan.
See here and here for media coverage of my work in the New York Times, the Atlantic, The Washington Post, and other outlets. I also write and speak to wider audiences; see here for a selection of pieces in The New Yorker, The New Republic, Aeon, The Harvard Business Review, and elsewhere.
