My book, Mothers of the Military: Support and Politics During Wartime, is currently available from from Rowman and Littlefield Press.The book follows the mothers of U.S. service members in the War on Terrorism through the stages of recruitment, deployment, and post-deployment, examining what kinds of support are needed during war, who provides that support, and what impact does that support have on engagement in the political process.
My current research examines grassroots political organizing, focusing on how issues of inequality play out in local political activism.
