Author

As an author, I play favorites. My first-born book (of those written not just for fellow academics), SINGLED OUT: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After, is still my favorite. Singled Out is a myth-busting, consciousness-raising, totally unapologetic take on singles and their place in contemporary American society.

My most recent book is How We Live Now: Redefining Home and Family in the 21st Century.

I’ve also authored other books and contributed to a number of other books and anthologies. You can find them all on the BOOKS page.

I’ve written op-ed pieces and other articles for publications such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, Time magazine, Forbes, the Chronicle of Higher Education, the San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, Truthout, Quartz, Nautilus, Alternet, and the Conversation.
