I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at New York University.   I also teach in NYU's newly created Animal Studies Initiative.

I received my PhD in sociology from the City University of New York, then was awarded a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars in Health Policy Research Fellowship at Harvard University.  My interests include Community and Urban Sociology, Environmental Sociology, Human-animal Relations, Culture, Health, and Ethnography.  A number of these foci intersect in a book I have just completed about how relationships with animals and nature shape social life in the city.  Titled "The Global Pigeon," it is forthcoming with the University of Chicago Press.
