I am a senior lecturer in sociology at Vanderbilt University where I teach a variety of courses each year to some of the world's best students. My teaching and research interests include Race & Ethnicity, Masculinity, Nationalism, and Crime & Deviance.
I am an expert on US domestic militias and related nostalgic groups that are commonly grouped under the terms "right-wing" or "patriot groups," and have been studying them for nearly 15 years. Unlike many nostalgic group researchers, I do not rely solely on online materials or media reports of these groups. I observe group members in ethnography and ask them directly about their motives and perceptions through interviews and surveys. Public sociology is an important part of my job, and I regularly consult with journalists, law enforcement, and other academics around the globe. I have also served as an expert consultant on federal hate crime and domestic terrorism trials and with multiple committees of U.S. Congress.
