Research Interests
I conduct research on the social and demographic correlates of volunteering. Most of my recent work on volunteering utilizes multilevel data and modeling techniques. Additionally, I explore the properties of social networks across a variety of settings. My social network research tends to be collaborative and interdisciplinary, involving students and faculty from departments outside of Sociology.
