Research and Program Support

My institutional academic research generally falls into three broad categories, which often overlap:

  • Secular/non-religious moral/ethical formation
  • Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Change Efforts (SOGICE)
  • Abuse, misconduct, and coercive control within faith-based organizations, high-control groups, and new religious movements

More broadly, these are areas in which I have research and subject matter expertise:

Sociology: Social theory, sociology of labor, social justice, LGBTQ+ studies


Organizational Theory: HR and human resources, organizational culture, DEI, organizational misconduct, power and control

Humanities: Esotericism, hermeticism, and heterodoxies, media ecology, anthropologies of marketing and advertising, ethics

Religious Studies: Fundamentalisms and high-control groups, hermeneutics and discourse analysis, authoritarianism

Further, I provide program support for public administration and academic programs. This includes strategic planning, project management, full-cycle grant making, and evaluation.

Please contact me if you require a researcher, program director, or investigator on the topics listed above.
