I am actively engaged in scholarly research with three main themes. The first theme, network mobilization, examines the micro-level processes through which individuals obtain resources from their personal networks. The second theme, job loss, job search, and precarious work, examines the subjective experiences of losing and finding work, especially in contexts of economic insecurity. The third theme, development, investigates the institutional structures and key actors driving local-level economic development processes. These three themes cross-cut my past, present, and future research agendas.
