Research
My research interests are broadly centered within Political and Cultural Sociology and Sociology of Sport.
My most recent work, co-authored with Dr. Chris Knoester and published in Social Currents, examines U.S. Adults’ opinions on the appropriateness of tackle football for kids and has been featured on WebMD, US News & World Report, Vox, and The Hill in addition to receiving local and national cable news coverage. I also was invited to speak about the work on WOSU 89.7 NPR News and write an opinion column for The Columbus Dispatch.
