My primary interests include cooperation and competition in human social networks, and the evolutionary and ecological factors driving the emergence of cooperation, dominance, and leadership. I'm interested in integrating coercive and mutual-benefit scenarios of social hierarchy formation and seek to explain variation in hierarchy and inequality across societies.

I've spent/am spending the spring of 2007 doing fieldwork in lowland Bolivia.
