Current Research Activities
After decades of studying marriage, I shifted to study the sociology of arts. I keep a focus on gender and inequality. Right now I am developing a project on the meaning of jewelry in the everyday lives of people and how jewellery creates, defines, and marks individual identities, boundaries, and inequalities between groups. Jewellery is a subtle and overlooked but potentially powerful part of the social world and people’s experiences within it.
