Kieran Healy

I am a sociologist at Duke University.

Until June 2008 I was a member of the University of Arizona's Sociology Department. For the 2008–09 academic year I am a fellow at CASBS.

My research interests are in economic sociology, the sociology of culture, the sociology of organizations, and social theory. I have written several articles and a book about the social organization of exchange in human blood and organs. I’ve also published work on the relationship between information technology and cultural policy, wage growth and unemployment in OECD labor markets, and debates about structure and agency in social theory. Right now I am interested in the moral order of market society, the effect of quantification on the emergence and stabilization of social categories, and the link between these two topics.
