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.
