I am the Director and Co-founder of Beyond the Choir, a doctoral student of sociology at UC Berkeley, and author of Hegemony How-To: A Roadmap for Radicals (AK Press. January 2017). I’ve worked for more than two decades as an organizer and strategist in grassroots social movements. I research collective action, collective identity, and politicization processes, focusing especially on social movements in the United States over the past century.
