I am an assistant professor of sociology at Duke and I study the social foundations that make and break science. This includes the norms, arguments, and pluralism that make it both epistemically diverse and legit. I work with scientific and legislative text using NLP, machine learning, and AI. 

Right now, I'm working on:

(1) pluralism and innovation (peer review + patents)
(2) cultural authority (nation-state structures)

I'm also the faculty-in-residence in Brown Residence Hall, where I live with, learn from, and support Duke freshmen! 

When not working, my 🧔 & 🐕‍🦺 [pic] keep me busy, from the AT to the PCT 🏔️🥾🐾
