​WELCOME

I am a sociologist with research and teaching specialties in gender, intersectionality, race/ethnicity, African American history and political ideology, popular culture, qualitative methods, and applied statistics.  

I earned my doctorate in sociology with a concentration in race, ethnicity, and gender from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Currently, I work in the Religion and Public Life division of Pew Research Center, focusing on African American religion. I am formerly an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. 
​"The most general statement of our politics at the present time would be that we are actively committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression, and see as our particular task the development of integrated analysis and practice based upon the fact that the major systems of oppression are interlocking".
