In 2000, Donnell Butler completed "Studies of Artists: An Annotated Directory", the twelfth paper of the Princeton University Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies working paper series. The directory provides researchers and other interested parties with a range of definitions, identification methods, and sampling procedures currently used in studies of artists. The introduction to the directory provides a critical overview of the numerous methods for identifying and defining "artists."
Donnell Butler's research interests include economic sociology with particular emphasis on the household economy, social stratification, and the sociology of education. Donnell is currently working on a paper that categorizes specific gendered behaviors associated with doing housework. In another piece, Donnell examines how other ascriptive characteristics can influence perceived racial variation in college enrollment.
