Sociologist researching and teaching about gender, race, organizations, and victimization.
I am an assistant professor of criminal justice at the University of New Haven. I hold a PhD in sociology from the University of Colorado Boulder. As a teacher and a scholar I explore the ways in which gender and racial inequalities are created and sustained at the interactional and institutional levels.
My scholarship broadly focuses on gender and race at the intersections of victimization, identity, inequality, and organizations. My current work explores sexual harassment and assault in the U.S. military. My work has received several awards and is published in American Sociological Review, Gender & Society, Sociology Compass, Violence A
My scholarship broadly focuses on gender and race at the intersections of victimization, identity, inequality, and organizations. My current work explores sexual harassment and assault in the U.S. military. My work has received several awards and is published in American Sociological Review, Gender & Society, Sociology Compass, Violence Against Women, Violence & Victims, and other peer reviewed outlets. It has been covered in The Washington Post and the London School of Economics Policy Blog among other media outlets.
I teach undergraduate and graduate courses related to Gender, Race, Crime, Victimization, Trauma, Organizations, and Qualitative Research Methods. I am committed to addressing inequality in academia and am engaged in workshops, trainings, and committees related to diversity and inclusion as well as inclusive pedagogy. I have won awards for my teaching most recently from Sage Publications.
I have published pieces on my research related to sexual harassment in the military in various media, blog, and academic blog outlets. My most recent piece was published by the Monkey Cage at the Washington Post and explores the pervasive problem of sexual harassment in the military in light of Vanessa Guillén's murder.
