I am an Assistant Professor of Government at Cornell University, where I also am affiliated with the Center for the Study of Inequality. 

I study how politics shape the social policies, labor markets, and overall economies of post-industrial societies, focusing on the United States and Western Europe. 

This website is a portal to my work in this areas.  My book, The Welfare Workforce: Why Mental Health Care Varies Across Affluent Democracies (Cambridge University Press, Studies in Comparative Politics Series), will be published open-access in January 2025.
