Town Meeting day, long ago.

I am an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Binghamton University (SUNY). My research starts from the premise that all behavior---decisions and actions, no matter how many people they affect---derives from the agency of self-interested individuals. Where circumstances demand collective action, whether because of existing institutions or conditions beyond human control, self-interested actors have to cooperate. I am interested in when, why, and how they do. My work is at heart game theoretic and sometimes fairly formal in terms of expression and notation, but it always is grounded in real-world problems and aims to yield and to the extent possible examine hypotheses that are testable in the real world. I also write about gelato whenever I can.
Prior to my current residence in New York I have lived (in sequence) in Vermont, Maine, Spain, Massachusetts, Mexico, California, and Nebraska. I speak, along with English, fluent Spanish, passable Italian, and more-or-less functional French. I also can read Catalán and Portuguese.
