Elizabeth's research focuses on culture and social movements, specifically in cultural analyses of social movements and social movement analyses of contentious subcultures. She's interested in the role culture plays in constraining and enabling collective action, as well as how activists attempt to change culture. Topically, she study's issues concerning animals, food, and the environment. She recently published a book on the animal rights movement in France and the United States, and in past projects has studied veganism, punk, pro-anorexia websites, as well as researcher subjectivity and reflexivity.
