About

I write about how modern institutions, cultural expectations, and economic incentives shape the development of boys and men. My interest is in the quiet structural forces — often unnoticed, often unintended — that influence identity, aspiration, belonging, and the sense of purpose.

Much of the public conversation about men focuses on attitudes or personal choices. I’m drawn instead to the broader landscape: how shifts in education, work, community life, and social norms alter the pathways available to young men as they try to make sense of themselves and their place in the world.

My work sits at the intersection of sociology, psychology, and cultural analysis. I try to approach the topic without nostalgia and without alarmism — only with the question of how we arrived here, and what these changes reveal about the society we are collectively building.

I’m currently developing a sequence of essays exploring these themes, as well as a forthcoming book on the new male condition and the structures that shape it.
