I am a cultural sociologist with interests in education and
criminology. My research focus is on teenagers' transitions in and out
of educational and carceral systems. I study how
daily interactions reproduce or disrupt
inequalities. Currently, I'm writing about how high school students
make post-secondary decisions (such as where and whether to
go to college). This research is based on more than six years of
NSF-funded
qualitative research in New Jersey high schools. In another project
using quantitative content analysis of "big data," I
examine the social construction of the bully in national media.
I am an assistant professor of sociology at College
of St. Scholastica. Before that, I was visiting assistant professor
in the Department of Sociology at Grinnell College. I
received my Ph.D. in
2012 from the Department of
Sociology at Rutgers University, with a graduate certificate in Women's and Gender Studies,
and my BA in philosophy and sociology from Seattle University.
I teach sociology of education, culture, self
& society, school-to-prison pipeline (visit our blog!),
sociological theory, qualitative & quantitative methods, and
introduction to
sociology.
