I’m a sociologist and writer. My work centers on the fraught intersection of capitalism and democracy with a particular interest in philanthropy’s tendency to undermine our collective ability to participate, organize, and act politically. Formerly at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, I’m launching the Project on Private Wealth and Democracy—an initiative working to counteract philanthropy's civic and democratic dysfunctions through research, reform, and public policy.
