Sex and gender are core dimensions of just about all social phenomena. My own research has highlighted the gender-specific aspects of large-scale political transformation, and I have focused on both pre-modern and contemporary societies. The changing historical formations of masculinity are especially interesting to me, in part because they remain a relatively understudied and ill-understood area of social structure and social psychology. I also teach and write on the relationship between gender as a conceptual lens and social theory.
