My research focuses on the roles of philanthropy and nonprofit and voluntary organizations in democratic governance and has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and The Takeaway, the Stanford Social Innovation Review, and other academic and popular press venues. My book, Giving Circles: Philanthropy, Voluntary Association, Democracy won CASE’s John Grenzebach Research Award for Outstanding Research in Philanthropy. I also received a Fulbright Scholar Award to conduct research on giving circles in the UK, and the UNO campus-wide Awards for Distinguished Research or Creative Activity and Outstanding Graduate Mentor.
