I am a Professor of Sociology at Washington University-St. Louis.  I received my Ph.D. in Sociology from Princeton University in 2007.   The central focus of my research is on the causes of economic inequality in the U.S. and other post-industrial economies.  I am primarily interested in the determinants of wages and salaries, and how these vary across time and place.
