I am a sociologist. I have broad research interests in political sociology, social movements and the sociology of culture, but much of my work focuses on the emergence, spread and mobilisation of extremism and violence in the United States and Europe. I am also interested in mixing computational and qualitative research methodologies. My current projects generally fall into one of three camps:

(i) the causes and consequences of violent extremism,

(ii) the mainstreaming of extremism within state and local politics,

(iii) extremist, conspiratorial and ultra-conservative social movements.

Do reach out if you want to chat, I am open to proposed research collaborations and academic advice requests.
