Anna Wood

Anna Wood

PhD Student. Social Work/Sociology Candidate

Wood looks at status hierarchies and masculinity among fraternity men, with particular attention to how peer behavior is policed or corrected within homosocial spaces. She is also interested in how accountability procedures at the organizational level translate to interpersonal and within-group accountability processes. She asks how bystander behaviors are influenced by within-group and between-group hierarchies on college campuses. Wood's primary theoretical frameworks include critical whiteness studies, restorative justice strategies and feminist theory.
