I look at so­cial change aim­ing to cre­ate just and car­bon-neut­ral so­ci­et­ies.

My research examines how collective commitment is generated and sustained in fluid, non-hierarchical forms of organizing, such as social movements and grassroots initiatives addressing grand societal challenges. I am particularly interested in the emotional and symbolic dimensions of collective action that binds people to a shared cause and motivates continued involvement. I mainly work with qualitative methods.
