I am a sociological social psychologist and computational social scientist whose research examines how people’s multiple identities are organized, interact, and shape well-being. My work develops identity networks as a new approach for studying how identities (e.g., being a father, a caregiver, a religious person) relate to one another. This research shows how identities support or hinder each other, how these dynamics are linked to physical and mental well-being, and how micro-level mechanisms of facilitation and interference aggregate into broader social patterns. I also advance computational social science pedagogy, preparing students to use data and novel tools to address social science questions.
