Ideas that
move minds.
I build classrooms where difficult questions become invitations to think deeper. My work connects social inquiry, evidence-led teaching and the human stories behind systems.

A teaching practice shaped by curiosity.
Clear frameworks, generous discussion and rigorous evidence, designed to make learning feel active rather than passive.
I am a Professor of Sociology focused on how institutions, technology and everyday culture shape one another. My teaching turns theory into a tool students can use, in research, policy, organizations and public life.
Across seminars, field studies and collaborative projects, I encourage students to test assumptions, listen carefully and build arguments that can survive evidence.
