Brief
biography: I earned my PhD in Sociology from Washington State University in May of 2008. My research examines expanded accountability on a variety of scales from human rights practices and the relations of states, to how social and environmental relationships are represented, regulated, seen, and experienced in a capitalist economy, such that designers, manufactures, workers, and conscientious consumers might be able to see and act to improve these relationships.
Two quick examples of this research: First, I’ll present my paper “Push, Pull and Ignore: The School of Americas and Changing Human Rights Practices in Latin America, 1976-2005” at the California Sociological Association Meetings in Riverside, CA this November. Second, my article entitled “ Seeing Shades: Ecological and Socially Just Labeling” was published in the journal Organization and Environment.
I’m currently teaching Population and Environment and Introduction to Sociology.
