I am an independent consultant providing research and evaluation services to public-sector and nonprofit organizations in education, labor, and international affairs. I recently completed consulting projects for the American Psychological Foundation, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and American Political Science Association. I am also a faculty affiliate of the Department of Economics and Center for the Study of Academic Labor at Colorado State University, and the Maryland Population Research Center at the University of Maryland-College Park.
Prior to establishing my consulting practice, I was director of research for the American Sociological Association and the American Association of University Professors. In earlier years I worked at community colleges in Montana and Virginia, and at universities in Germany and Kenya.
I hold a PhD in sociology from Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wyoming.
