Upcoming research topics

COMING SOON

Serious studies on the tiny, human, everyday things that shape modern life.

I’m working on a series of micro-anthropology pieces — part observation, part data, part playful curiosity. Think: rigorous methods, whimsical topics, and insights grounded in real human behavior.

Here’s a preview of what’s coming:

SOCIAL WORLDS & MICRO-COMMUNITIES

• Social Clubs: Why people join them, who thrives in them, and the tiny rituals that emerge inside curated belonging.

• The Founders Scene: A field guide to the behaviors, identities, and micro-myths of modern founder ecosystems.

• Dog Parks: Status dynamics, owner archetypes, silent negotiations, and the social networks dogs create for humans.

• Bus Micro-Communities: A day observing a single bus line to map the worlds that co-exist in motion.

• Comment Threads: How micro-tribes form in the margins of the internet — norms, leaders, in-jokes, and conflict dynamics.

• Dog Doppelgängers: A playful, data-backed analysis of whether owners really resemble their dogs.

DATING, RELATIONSHIPS & MODERN CONNECTION

• Singles Events: Micro-performances of hope, attraction, and social strategy.

• How People Track Their Dates: Spreadsheets, journals, voice memos, and “vibe logs” — a taxonomy of emotional record-keeping.

• Stages of Dating: A behavioral map of spark, uncertainty, calibration, and clarity.

IDENTITY, WORK & MODERN SELVES

• Types of Notes People Take: What note-taking styles reveal about attention, cognition, and personality.

• Types of Coworker Relationships: A taxonomy of allies, confidants, collaborators, and “office siblings.”
