I am an economic sociologist interested in money (not so much in making it, but I accept donations). My research focuses on how monetary relationships form, how they are governed, and how they fail, concentrating primarily on institutional dynamics (e.g. the power of central banks) and relational ones (e.g. how creditworthiness is established). In my current work, I investigate the role that exceptions play in economic governance. I currently serve as Chair of the Sociology Department at the University of Virginia. You can contact me here: sp4ft at virginia dot edu.
I am the author of two books: The Ascent of Market Efficiency: Finance That Cannot Be Proven (2020, Cornell University Press), and Conservatives Versus Wildcats: A Sociology of Financial Conflict (2013, Stanford University Press).
A joint project (with Brad Pasanek), dealing with money, and more specifically with the history of the concept of liquidity, led to a special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy. Routledge published it in January 2013 as a book.
