About
I am primarily interested in the etiology and ontology of sexual "orientation" (with the caveat that that term may not turn out to be analytically useful), with a related interest in sexual identity. I have a primarily scientific realist perspective, but take constructionist insights into subjectivity formation seriously, and would like to see further conceptual integration between scientific and interpretive frameworks. I am starting my PhD at Cornell University in the fall of 2009 with Ritch Savin-Williams. I hope to do in-depth qualitative interviews of sexual subjectivity and life-history in a non-Western setting (probably India) in order to elaborate scientific models of sexual desire, identity, and behavior.
