Hi. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Sociology at Purdue University. I primarily study the sociology of religion, and I am especially interested in the social construction of sexual morality. Much of my research has focused on American evangelicals and the shifting sources of moral authority to which they have appealed when making arguments about homosexuality, pornography, and premarital sex. Expanding on this area of inquiry, I am now engaged in a related line of research that investigates how various moral narratives about pornography play out in tangible and real ways within the lives of both individuals and of sexually-intimate couples. Other research interests of mine include topics such as sexual deviance, sexual addiction, body modification, and mental illness.
