I am an academic working at the intersection of social movements, organizations, and political sociology. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher on the Youth Activism Project at the University of Arizona. My research primarily contributes to our understanding of repression and threat processes, but I am broadly interested in systems of control and how they fail (i.e. how resistance emerges). I completed my PhD at Ohio State University in 2013.
