Current Projects

I'm completing a book on the "moral economy" emerging from worker centers—part of the U.S. “alt-labor” movement. Based on ethnographic research at a Chicago worker center, the book explores the prescriptive norms, legitimating values, and enforcement institutions that support this new labor infrastructure.

I'm also launching a new research line on whether contract law can foster inter-firm collaboration and product innovation—drawing on my background in economic sociology, contract law, comparative analysis, and law and political economy.
