How we think, how we feel, and how we behave depends on ethnicity, social class, and where we live.  Each of these social distinctions is associated with different patterns of ideas and practices about how to be a person and the right way to behave.  This research focuses on choice, suggesting that it is far from "free" and is instead powerfully influenced by the ideas and ways of living that animate and structure our social worlds.
