Welcome! I'm an Assistant Professor in the Sociology Department at the University of Notre Dame. I'm also a faculty fellow at the Center for the Study of Religion and Society and a faculty affiliate at the Center for the Study of Social Movements and Social Change. I teach and engage in research in the areas of collective behavior/social movements, civic engagement/volunteerism, social networks, and the sociology of religion, especially congregation-based mobilization. I have published articles on these topics in such journals as the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Mobilization, Social Forces, and Social Problems. Before coming to Notre Dame in the fall of 2009, I spent three years in the Sociology Department at the University of Arizona as an assistant professor. I received my Ph. D. in 2006 from the Sociology Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
