Presentation

My work seeks to understand how the practitioners and practices of contemporary finance allocated wealth and poverty as well as structure human societies. I’ve done field work in the United States on private equity investing as well as on the creation of employee owned companies. I’m currently a member of the AlgoFinance project studying the ways that algorithmic trading is reshaping financial markets. In addition to this, I’m interested in the ways in which belief and values shape political systems.

Primary research areas
  • Cultures of Finance and Financialization
  • Cultural Anthropology
  • Applied Anthropology and Research Methods
