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. Specifically, my work theorizes the institutional dynamics of stigmatized economic activities, 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.
