Michael Lee Wood
I am an assistant professor of Sociology at Brigham Young University (BYU). I completed my PhD in Sociology at the University of Notre Dame.
I am a cultural sociologist with special interests in cognition, religion, and computational methods. I study the cultural and social dynamics that affect reasoning and behavior (including parenting decisions and church attendance), and develop computational tools for measuring culture. I am a contributor at Culture, Cognition, and Action.
