Rebekah Peeples Massengill is a cultural sociologist whose research centers on culture, religion, and economic sociology. She is particularly interested in the way that moral arguments and ways of reasoning shape public debates about political and economic issues. Her dissertation explored how activists invoke moral language in the debate over Wal-Mart, focusing on activist groups’ public statements and media coverage. She joined the Princeton Writing Program as a lecturer in the spring of 2009.
Prior to coming to Princeton in 2003, Massengill earned degrees from Davidson College (Political Science), Union Theological Seminary & PSCE, and spent several years working with the homeless and coordinating volunteers in social outreach and community organizing.
