Profile

I specialize in political sociology, social movements, and social theory. My dissertation, Framing Neoliberalism: The Counter-hegemonic Framing of the Global Justice, Anti-war, and Immigrant Rights Movements, explores how an anti-neoliberal master frame was deployed during the course of a multi-movement protest wave.  Using ethnographic content analysis of archival documents, interviews, newspaper articles, I examine the Global Justice, Anti-War, and Immigrant Rights movements of the 2000s to offer a theoretical synthesis of the framing perspective in social movements and Gramscian theories of hegemony, which I call the counter-hegemonic framing approach.
