I am a professor of religious studies and women's and gender studies. My research focuses broadly on how evangelicalism and Christian conservatism impact American cultural attitudes on sex, gender, and race. I am the author of two books (both with Oxford University Press) on these topics: Compromising Positions: Political Sex Scandals and American Christianity (2020) and Righteous Rhetoric: Sex, Speech, and the Politics of Concerned Women for America (2014).
