Current Research
My research interests are primarily centered on the social
organization of political, cultural, and scientific communities. In
particular, I am interested in how these communities can and should
respond to diversity. This focus on diversity is manifested most
prominently in my three major projects: the first remakes social
contract theory for very diverse societies, the second offers a
normative-descriptive framework for analyzing the division of
cognitive labor in science, and the third examines the emergence
and persistence of social norms.
