Associate Professor

Sociology

Main research areas:

  • Social Movements, Political Violence, and Radicalization
  • Social Boundaries and Public Identity Transformations
  • Processual Theory and Epistemology

Current research and teaching:

My work has developed in three main areas: (1) the study of social movement radicalization and related political violence; (2) the macroscopic analysis of public identity transformations, especially as they relate to social boundaries and different styles of rule; and (3) the connection between sociological theory and epistemology, particularly with respect to processes and mechanisms. Combining all three areas but mostly developing the first of them, the major project on which I currently work studies the legitimization of political violence in Ireland (early 20th century) and Cyprus (mid 20th century).

My teaching covers piecemeal some of my areas of research, but mostly regards the general instruction of methods and epistemology.
