Madison, Wisconsin, United States
I'm a PhD student and Teaching Assistant in the Department of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My interests focus on sociology of knowledge, organizations, social networks, elite power, and emerging technologies. I am currently working on a thesis on think tanks and corporate networks in India and developing a dissertation focused on a critique of Bourdieu’s notion of cultural capital and fields through the study of knowledge organizations in the policy process.
