Society

What do you mean “Society”? When I say “society,” I mean writing about people. We’re an odd bunch. Sometimes our decisions don’t make sense—on the surface. But if you look closer, through the lens of psychology, sociology, history, politics—whatever!—you’ll start seeing the patterns that make us who we are.

Here’s some of my recent work about people. If you’d like to read my political writing, head on over to my politics page.
