Brooke Harrington is a sociologist who studies the social underpinnings of markets and money. Her research examines the ways global institutions like the stock market and international banking are built upon local, small-group interactions, such as those within organizations and neighborhoods.
Her publications address three general topics: economic and organizational sociology; the social psychology of small groups; and the practice and philosophy of qualitative methods. These research streams come together in her two books: Pop Finance (Princeton 2008) and Deception (Stanford 2009). Further details on the books--including the introductory chapters, tables of contents and reviews--are available via the links below.
Currently, Professor Harrington is working on journal articles concerning financial fraud and power; she is also conducting field research on the global offshore banking industry. One article from this project has already been published (click on the link titled "Trust and Estate Planning" below), and several more are in the works. The results will be published in a book-length manuscript within the next two to three years.
