Narrative

I am broadly interested in political sociology in relation to religion and secularism, technology, gender, and sexuality. My two current research focuses, the public recognition of non-religious Americans and the social production of internet piracy, seek to examine questions about our social responses to deviant beliefs and non-beliefs in both spiritual and material authority.
