I am a professor of sociology at the University of
Maryland, College Park, where I work with the Internet
Scholars Program. I am also an associate editor of the journal
IT & Society. I
have published many articles and two books,
Money Talks and
Dollars and Votes, on the issues surrounding power
elites and campaign finance.
I am also a member of the inter-university research team
recently awarded a grant to study the social science aspects
of terrorism. The University of Maryland will be home to
a major U.S.-sponsored social and behavioral research center
dedicated to reducing worldwide terrorism. Its research will
focus on areas such as how to disrupt the formation of terror
networks and minimize the impact of future attacks. (click
here for a description of the project)
My articles on
the Internet and time displacement have appeared in IT&Society
and Social Science Computer Review with Maryland colleagues
Meyer Kestnbaum and John Robinson. With Kestnbaum and
Robinson, I have directed the University of Maryland’s summer
“WebShop”, in which 50 top graduate students from around the
country interact with leading Internet Scholars. In
partnership with Paul DiMaggio at Princeton University, I am
analyzing data from the Internet module questions that we
introduced into the General Social Survey. To examine
the data and many articles from this project, please visit our
WebUse Project Web page.
