Curriculum Vitae | |
I received my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2008. I am an ethnographer and sociologist who studies crime, but my research interests are broad. I’ve studied alternative schooling and identity, gender and criminal co-offending, community anti-crime organizations, and the inter/intraracial nature of victimization. My work appears in journals such as Justice Research and Policy and the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography. My future research plans include a collaborative project focused on qualitative methodology, racism, and sexual harassment; selecting a secondary/comparative research site for my ethnography of “Gardner Village”; studying how gender conditions access to criminal opportunities within methamphetamine distribution networks; and continuing my work with data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
