William Graham Sumner Professor of Sociology and
Director, Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course (CIQLE)

I joined the Yale Sociology faculty in January 2007. I was previously an Official Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, where I am still a Senior Research Fellow. I am a Fellow of the British Academy, a Member of the Royal Irish Academy and a member of Academia Europaea.

My research interests are social stratification and inequality, quantitative methods, and the application of formal models in the social sciences.
