- Bio
- I'm a lawyer with a background in the social sciences. I enjoy reading, thinking about, and pontificating on family and gender relations, evolutionary biology, psychology, culture, and philosophy. I'm currently working on a research project related to parenthood and how people make the decision about whether or not to have kids.
