2003 |
I have broad interests in organizations, social movements, and social psychology, particularly as it pertains to issues of heirarchy and decisionmaking in small group and the effects this has on politics. Specifically I am interested in how groups make the
decision to engage in illegal or violent activities for the advancement of their shared goals.
Additionally I have an interest in how new technologies, especially communications and social media, affect the political process and group dynamics. And extensive training and field practice in qualitative methodologies. |
