Jennifer Triplett

Jennifer (Jen) Triplett is a comparative-historical sociologist working in the subfields of political sociology, sociology of culture, and collective behavior and social movements. She is particularly interested in the political participation of traditionally marginalized groups (especially women) in various countries, times, and regime types. Previous projects have included examinations of state/movement relations in authoritarian Peru, women's mobilization and party affiliation in post-Chavez Venezuela, and women's contributions to ideas of nationalism in independence-era Cuba. Jen's primary focus at the moment involves studying how the political salience of identities changes over time, using the case of gender in revolutionary Cuba.
