Hello, my good friend!  It is with deepest virtual sincerity that I welcome you to your own computer screen, since you are still wherever you are, although sometimes it really does feel like you have gone somewhere.  But enough phenomenology.  I am a nice kid who works at the little sociology department in the big, big state, and these days I am studying social structures, field theory, and party formation.  I have previously written on classical theory, historical changes in sexual decision making and the economy, the shaping of belief systems, the use of race as a conceptual category in American sociology, the relationship between interpersonal power and attributions of sexiness, methods for the analysis of qualitative data, political psychology, and the division of labor in Busytown.  I am nine years old.

This is a landing site primarily intended to assist in downloading programs and/or data that have been used in published articles.  (These articles are listed in my CV, which you can get to by clicking on the letters "CV".)  All the programs are on the page linked to this one, and come in the form of archived zip files; they include documentation that is moderately accurate and helpful.

 In case you couldn't tell, I put this together in 45 minutes without even looking at a help file or knowing what any of this is, so probably this is not only ugly to look at but dangerous for your computer.

 

 

Critics' Choice:

Current hot article:  "Political Action and Party Formation in the United States Constitutional Convention" just out in American Sociological Review.  This tells a story we have been waiting to hear about where our government really comes from....

I also teach Classes, and while they don't have a lot of computer-thing stuff associated with them, you can get syllabi and the answers to last years examinations by clicking on the word "classes" earlier in this sentence.

You may also be able to find here works in progress, such as my books: 

I Spit on your Grave:  Essays on Weber and Durkheim  

or 

Party Naked:  The Talcott Parsons Story

or the brief article "The Fruits of Knowledge".  I recently recovered the first page of an article, the only copy of which I had posed on our bulletin board at Rutgers.  If you need to pursue links to violent and deranged teenage websites, try THIS.  Or a word from the Thirteenth Floor Elevators:

you may also find malicious gossip about my colleagues here....
