I am absolutely overjoyed to be joining the Sociology Department at @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social along with @aminghaziani.bsky.social. There are so many amazing scholars at UCSB, and I am honored to become their colleague.
Tristan Bridges posted on Facebook: Big year for our department at UCSB! So many exceptional applicants for our Sexualities position. We could have interviewed 20 and still been forced to leave out exceptionally incredible scholars. It's a statement about the field that there is too much talent for the number of positions available. We ended up asking for and hiring two scholars I deeply admire - Amin Ghaziani and Laurel Westbrook. They both bring really exciting expertise to the department and I'm very excited to work with both of them and welcome them to UC Santa Barbara. Very excited for this renewed investment in UCSB Sociology sexualities and gender scholarship!
