I am a Professor (and Past Chair, 2011-15) in the Sociology Department. My teaching and research interests are at the nexus of identity, emotion, and culture. As a result, I teach introductory courses in sociological social psychology, emotion, and culture. I am currently involved in two long-term research projects. The first seeks to identify the social psychological and cultural mechanisms that underly significant and sustainable weight loss. The second marries two theories - one from sociological social psychology and the other from psychiatry - to explain how past trauma is able to reframed in ways that support emotional healing and identity transfomation, even among those with complex trauma. I have served on the editorial boards of Journal of Health and Social Behavior and Social Psychology Quarterly and as action editor for Emotion Review . My scholarly work has appeared in such outlets as American Journal of Sociology, Social Forces, Social Psychology Quarterly, Emotion Review, Work & Occupations, and Symbolic Interaction , among others. I served as the inaugural house professor for South House (2015-19) and Dean of the College from 2018-2021.
