After my university investigated me, I decided to speak out about the experience. This ultimately led me to edit an anthology of faculty investigation memoirs (Faculty Speak Out: The Truth About Campus Investigations, 2025, Academica Press).
In my other life, I'm a primarily quantitative social scientist who writes books about marriage and divorce, and how family interacts with our larger social institutions. One of these books, Do Babies Matter? Gender & Family in the Ivory Tower (2013, Rutgers University Press), looked at gender equity in higher education, and found that family formation--marriage and childbirth--was a big reason why women don't become professors. I've also had a longstanding interest in viewpoint diversity because of a long collaboration with a prominent conservative sociologist, W. Bradford Wilcox of the University of Virginia, that culminated in the 2016 book Soul Mates: Religion, Sex, Love, & Marriage Among African Americans and Latinos (Oxford University Press).
