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 commonly grouped under the terms "right-wing" or "patriot groups."  Unlike the vast majority of nostalgic group researchers, I do not rely solely on online materials or media reports of these groups, but rather observe group members in ethnography and ask them directly about their motives and perceptions through interviews and surveys. 

I am available for consulting on these groups at the below email address.
