In this line of research, I examine how ethnic diversity and immigration are related to public opinion and social mobility, as well as how religious diversity is reshaping traditional social structures.
In this line of research, I investigate the effects of wealth (such as savings and property), which has frequently been neglected in studies of socioeconomic status, on support for redistribution and other policy preferences. I also examine how the attitudes of wealth-holders and other elites are distinct from those of members of other strata of societies. Finally, I analyze how income and wealth inequalities are related to the upward and downward social mobility of members of all social classes.
In this line of research, I examine how urban contexts in both the developed and developing world shape the experiences of racial/ethnic, immigrant, and religious minority groups, as well as how they are perceived by residents of their cities.
In this line of research, I examine the fluidity of religious ties, and how such ties affect understandings of morality. I also explore the treatment of religious minority groups in both the developed and developing world.
In my research on Brazil, which included one year of fieldwork in Rio de Janeiro and intensive study of the Portuguese language, I use both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the salience of race, skin color, class, and religion in a country with high economic inequality.
In my research on China, I examine the implications of inequalities across ethnic groups and classes. Through my studies of the Chinese language, and professional work for the United Nations and Intermedia Survey Institute in Southeast Asia, I spent a total of around two years in the region.
