*Assistant Professor of Anthropology at University of California, Davis*

I research how humans adapt to culturally-structured environments, particularly in the domain of social behavior. To this end I focus on two lines of work:

1\) How do people process, and interact across, ethnic boundaries? I study intergroup relations and social cognition using ethnographic, experimental, and developmental psychological methods, including long-term fieldwork among agro-pastoralists in the Peruvian altiplano along the Quechua-Aymara linguistic border.

2\) How, and why, do social processes influence human reproductive decision-making? I use theoretical modeling and secondary data analysis to understand both within- and between- population effects of social relations on fertility outcomes, and how they interact with ecological and cultural factors.
