My research centers on the use of narratives around military service such as sacrifice narratives to influence changing views of patriotism and freedom since the Vietnam War. I also work on privacy as a national security threat, arguing that commercial data collection makes the Army – and the nation – more vulnerable. I have also written about the risks to the force from micro targeting and the algorithmic amplification of socially disruptive forces.
