I explore how governments exercise coercive power over citizens, and how those citizens understand that relationship. This has led me to research imprisonment, policing, and firearms in the US. I'm an Associate Professor at Oregon State University.

Political sociologist with a focus on gender inequality in Western industrialized democracies. Say hi to your pet for me (and share their pics!).
