Research and Teaching Interests
I work in the political sociology of science and technology, especially the politics of demography and population, environmental politics and policy, the international politics of food and risk, and science and law. Recent projects include studies of international population policy, attempts to harmonize international food and trade regimes, and the politics of depleted uranium.
