I am a sociologist, human-centered design and research consultant, public speaker, and writer living in Walla Walla, Washington. I teach at Whitman College. I research, speak, consult, teach, and write about families and intimate relationships, everyday life, homes and design, technology, inequalities, education, community-based projects, cultural dimensions of childhood and parenthood, social science research methods, and popular culture.
