RESEARCH:

My current research interests primarily concern mathematical models of social processes. I have published on decision-making on the U.S. Supreme Court, social networks, small group processes, social power, and ethnicity and nationalism.

Saul Brenner and I have written a book (Cambridge, 2009) about Strategy on the United States Supreme Court (see here).

A list of published articles, some with abstracts, is available here.

A list of papers in progress, with abstracts, is available here. Please contact me for a copy of the complete paper.
