New Member of the Scholar Strategy Network

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Scholar Strategy Network.

SSN brings together researchers committed to connecting rigorous scholarship with public and policy conversations. For me, this feels like a natural extension of how I already approach my work: producing sociological research that doesn’t stay confined to journals, but speaks to real institutional problems and public debates.

My research focuses on gender, masculinity, media, and criminal justice—particularly how institutions explain harm, deflect responsibility, and frame violence in ways that shape public understanding and policy responses. Much of my work examines state institutions and elite actors, asking how gendered power operates not just through individuals, but through organizational practices, reports, and official narratives.

I’m looking forward to working with SSN to translate sociological research into accessible, timely insights that can inform public debate and policy decision-making. At a moment when trust in institutions is fragile, I see this kind of bridge-building work as more important than ever.

Grateful to be joining this community.
