Introduction
Scott Lauren Feld (born September 29, 1949 in New York City). is an American sociologist and professor of sociology at Purdue University. He is best known for being the first to recognize, describe, and explain the Friendship Paradox, the phenomenon that, on average, friends inevitably have more friends than people do. More generally, he is known for his theorizing regarding causes and consequences of structures in social networks, especially the focused organization of social ties. He is also known for his extensive theoretical developments with Bernard Grofman on effects of social context and specific rules on formal collective decision making processes.

Education
He attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City and earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1970 His explorations of sociology and political science at Stony Brook led him to recognize the value of graph theory and game theory for mathematical sociological theory regarding social networks and collective decision making. He went on to study mathematical sociology with James S. Coleman at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago, and received his Ph. D. in Socioloogy in 1976.

Career
After completing his Ph.D., Feld joined the sociology faculty at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he served as assistant to full professor until 1991, where he workied on social networks alongside Mark Granovetter and began a long and productive collaboration with Bernard Grofman in Political Science. He left Stony Brook in 1991 to join the Sociology Department at the Lousiana State University. He went on join the Sociology Department at Purdue University in 2004, where he continues today. He also had visiting research and teaching positions at Dartmouth College, University of New Hampshire, University of Calfiornia-Riverside, the University of Toronto, and Northwestern University.

He has served as an Associate Editor of the Journal Social Structure, as the Vice President of the International Network for Social Network Analysts, and as co-organizer of the Sunbelt Social Networks Meetings in New Orleans. He also served as Chair of the sections of the American Sociological Association on Mathematical Sociology and Rationality and Society. He is an elected member of the Sociological Research Association.

Research
Feld's theorizing on social networks has focused on systematic patterns, especially intersecting social circles and inequality, His most influential work on causes of intersecting social circles is “The Focused Organization of Social Ties” (AJS, 1981) His most influential work on conseuqences of inequality is “Why Your Friends Have More Friends Than You Do” (AJS, 1991), which first described the Friendship Paradox. His social network research includes measuring social ties and network structures, and predicting the spread of disease, social influence, attitudes, and behaviors. Six of his articles have appeared in the premier sociology journals, the American Journal of Sociology, the American Sociological Review, and Social Forces.

His more than thirty articles with Bernard Grofman on collective choice have included “Ideological Consistency as a Collective Phenomenon,” “Thirteen Therems in Search of the Truth” and “Rousseaus’s General Will: A Condorcetian Perspective.” Seven of these articles have appeared in the American Political Science Review and the American Journal of Politics.

His other mathematical and methodological work has included work on gender roles, marriage, family violence, urban homicide rates, and American religion. His recent work with Mirta Galesic and others (2021) explores using humans as social sensors that was published in Nature. His ongoing work includes developing the “theory of selective behavior,” where individuals choose behaviors in context based upon their anticipation of particular effects for themselves.

Personal Life
Scott Feld married his sociology colleague, Jill Suitor, in 1979, They both joined the Sociology Departments at Lourisiana State University in 1991 and then at Purdue University in 2004. They currently live and work in both West Lafayette and Chicago nearby their two children’s families, including three grandsons.
