Research Interests

My interests include the intersections of gender, power, and violence.  I am particularly interested in the complex but often subtle ways through which masculinity gets privileged in the world. My attention is increasingly drawn to how privilege is reproduced and challenged in higher education, especially how academic practices produce academic masculinity, a class-, race-, and sexuality-based notion of masculinity that stands in contradistinction to women inside the academy and men and women outside of the academy. I am coauthor of an introductory textbook for courses in the Sociology of Gender titled Investigating Gender.
