This research has appeared in journals such as Social Forces, Sociological Perspectives, the International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Social Movement Studies, and Mobilization. Her first book, Patterns of Protest: Trajectories of Participation in Social Movements (Stanford University Press, 2012), examines the factors that keep activists engaged in social movements over time.
