About Me
I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at Suffolk University.
My research is guided by three central questions:
How do local organizations and community groups change—and at times, resist change?
How are social and symbolic boundaries constructed and dismantled?
How is the broader symbolic and cultural order re-mapped through conflicts between community groups?
