Academic Work

I am currently a PhD student at MIT in an interdepartmental social science program and work full time doing research on the interaction between social structure and technology in free culture and free software communities. I think of my work as primarily quantitative sociology.

This page contains links to my academic writing and presentations. Most of what I've written (including several and a large number of essays) is not academic. If you want to read my non-scholarly work, please see my writing page. There are also a set of non-refereed "semi-academic" articles hosted on that page. If you'd like to see links to my non-academic talks and presentations, please see my my talk page.

You may also want to read my curriculum vitae. Thanks to Kieran Healy whose CV provided me with typographic inspiration.
