Cary Beckwith, *20
I am a PhD candidate in the sociology department at Princeton University. My
dissertation is an ethnographic study of the migrant workforce that enabled
the shale oil boom in western North Dakota. More generally, my interests
include culture, social interactions, economic life, morality, social theory,
and ethnographic methods. More information on my research and teaching is
available at carybeckwith.net.
