"Comedian, actor, and co-author of Modern Romance"
Aziz Ansari is a comedian, actor, and writer known for his role as Tom Haverford on Parks and Recreation and for creating and starring in the Peabody Award-winning series Master of None. Alongside his entertainment career, Ansari has developed a parallel interest in social science, spending several years researching modern dating and relationships with sociologist Eric Klinenberg. That research, conducted through focus groups across five countries, became the New York Times bestseller Modern Romance (2015), which paired Ansari's comic voice with rigorous sociological methods to explain how technology has reshaped the search for love.
