I blog about higher education with a focus on online education, equity, and justice. In addition to my scholarship on higher ed, my research addresses hate, religion, politics, and the law in the contemporary US. My PhD in American studies has allowed me to teach courses in sociology, history, anthropology, and women's and gender studies. I'm currently in academic administration, where my work focuses on supporting faculty for sustainable, just teaching during the time of COVID.
