Associate Professor of Sociology at Kenyon College
I encourage students to understand sociology through the fabric of their day to day experiences; the patterns of thought, behavior, and emotion that emerge from and construct their social interactions; and the institutions that structure these experiences into a shared social reality. We work together as a community of learners to form critical sociological imaginations. This process encourages a nuanced understanding of both structure and agency as we identify the empowering and constraining effects of social processes for diverse social actors.
