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 15 years. I do not rely solely on online materials or media reports of these groups, but also observe group members in ethnography and ask them directly about their motives and perceptions through interviews and surveys, which provides for rich, qualitative approaches to the inner-workings of these groups.
I am a Senior Research Fellow at Middlebury's Center for Terrorism Extremism and Counterterrorism (CTEC). I previously taught at Vanderbilt for 9 years and 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.
