Biography   Current Research
Jen (as she insists on being called) teaches Deviance, Social Problems, and Social Psychology. Her research interests are the social construction of victimization nd agency, survivors' movements in the contemporary U.S., victim advocacy, and, more generally, the sociology of social problems, social movements, identity and emotions, which she hopes to link. She won the 2005 Charles Horton Cooley Award for Recent Book or Article, Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. Jen came out here from California with one teenager, two birds, two dogs, and three cats. She has since added one of her adult children, another teenager, an almost teenager, another cat, a husband, and a toddler to her household, which is why in her spare time she can usually be found walking around the lake as fast as she can.
