My research focuses on masculinity, nationalism and identity, especially as they intersect with race and social class. I am currently examining these themes in American gun culture and the US prison system. This research marks a transition from previous research that I began in graduate school on the social organization of autism, but also builds on it in that all of my research is motivated by a desire to reveal facets and dynamics of power to better understand the social forces that shape our lives and our society.
