Education/Degrees: BA in Sociology, Minor in Political Science, Gonzaga University
Research Interests: paranormal investigations, haunted locations, ghost hunting, knowledge construction, sociology of death and dying, Paganism, modern witchcraft practices
Current Research: My current research analyzes why living humans pursue the paranormal. Although death is often a subject addressed behind closed doors, paranormal investigators actively pursue evidence to “prove” what happens after. But why do they do this, and how does this type of knowledge construction influence how we think about death and dying?
