About me

My research and teaching interests include  gender, sexuality, violence, transgender studies, social movements, the media, methods, and poststructuralist theory. My current projects focus on the inner workings of the sex/gender/sexuality system. I utilize a range of research methods, including textual analysis, statistical analysis, and interviews to examine how this system shapes and is shaped by understandings of violence, the practices of social movements, and the construction of sociological knowledge.
