My research interests are primarily centered on the social organization of political, cultural, and scientific communities. In particular, I am interested in how these communities can and should respond to diversity. This focus on diversity is manifested most prominently in my three major projects: the first remakes social contract theory for very diverse societies, the second offers a normative-descriptive framework for analyzing the division of cognitive labor in science, and the third examines the emergence and persistence of social norms.
