I am a specialist in the sociology of economic life. In other words I study how people manage their interaction with markets... Labour markets, credit markets, and even non-marketed stuff like time use, dignity, pleasures of well-being, and status. I am interested in gender issues such as women's "Proper" roles and in norm change over time.
