Welcome!  I am an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Sociology & Criminology Department at Butler University, where I am developing courses on social control and deviance, political sociology, media, culture, and theory.  Prior to joining the Butler faculty in fall 2021, I was Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Sociology at St. Lawrence University. 

My first book, Citizens at the Gates: Twitter, Networked Publics, and the Transformation of American Journalism (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018)--winner of the 2020 CITAMS Book Award--examines changes in the field of journalism due to the convergence of professionals, citizens, and activists on Twitter. I am also co-author of All Media Are Social: Sociological Perspectives on Mass Media (Routledge, 2020), which offers a reader-friendly introduction to media sociology.  My work has also appeared in publications such as New Media & Society, Journalism: Theory, Practice and Criticism, Studies in Media and Communications, Cultural Studies <=> Critical Methodologies. and Hybrid Pedagogy. 

​I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of Missouri in Columbia, where I also spent a year as a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Mizzou Advantage Media of the Future initiative, conducting research and teaching courses in Journalism, Peace Studies, and Sociology.  After that, I spent the 2013-2014 academic year as a Lecturer and Postdoctoral Fellow in the Media, Film & Journalism Studies Department at the University of Denver.  You can learn more about my research here.
