Bio: I have a broad research program on the impact of the worldwide education revolution’s impact on the historical rise of postindustrial society and global development.  Specifically this includes influence of education on health, mortality, and related population dynamics, as well on the development of the knowledge society and science productivity.  I am also interested in testing theory about the emergence and impact of social institutions, the formation of cultural forces, and how human society sustains itself.
