Academic interests and affiliations
I received my PhD from the School of Justice Studies and Social Inquiry at Arizona State University. My research and teaching interests include protest policing, social movements, globalization, and issues in the social control of the late modernity.
My recent book, titled Policing Dissent: Social control and the Anti-Globalization Movement (2008, Rutgers University Press), used ethnographic data to analyze how law enforcement agencies police network-based mobilizations and movements.
My work also appears in various journals, including Social Justice and Qualitative Sociology. My most recent research examines the securitization of the Mexican-Guatemalan border as it links to US immigration policy. Among the courses I teach are Global Justice, Law Enforcement Systems, and Research Methods.
