Her current research focuses on: (1) the development and consequences of symbolic boundaries (“us” and “them”), and (2) how beliefs and social identities change and interact with social networks. She has a PhD in Sociology from Indiana University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Santa Fe Institute.
