Welcome
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Oberlin College. In my work, I take a mixed-methods approach to studying contested markets, contentious politics, and punishment broadly conceived. Specifically, my work theorizes the institutional dynamics of stigmatized & stigmatizing economic behavior, ideological violence, and coercive confinement.
My research has been published in Social Problems, Poetics, Law & Policy, Crime & Delinquency, Sociological Inquiry, Sociological Perspectives, Sociological Focus, Policing, & Journal of School Violence. My most recent article “Becoming a Cannabis Professional” was accepted for publication in Sociological Inquiry. Please email me if you would like preprint access.
