WELCOME.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at The University at Buffalo.

I research the intersection of punishment and medicine from a sociolegal perspective. My in-progress book manuscript, Medicalizing Violence: Trauma, Veterans Court, and the Politics of Medicalizing Crime looks at the case of the campaign for Veterans Treatment Courts, examining how criminal justice actors translate and create medical knowledge around trauma in the pursuit of justice reform. My most recent publication from this larger project can be found in Social Science & Medicine.
