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.

I am currently completing a book based on my dissertation, titled "The Global Pigeon" and under contract with the University of Chicago Press.  I am also researching the assessment and communication of risk pertaining to emerging infectious diseases, such as Avian Influenza and SARS, that jump from animals to humans.
