Associate Professor Jennifer Carlson Awarded MacArthur Fellowship

Associate Professor Jennifer Carlson has just been awarded the MacArthur Fellowship for uncovering the motivations, assumptions, and social forces that drive gun ownership and shape gun culture in the United States. Through ethnographic research with gun owners, educators, and sellers; law enforcement; and state licensing bodies, Carlson investigates the motivations and assumptions that drive gun culture.

The MacArthur Fellowship is an $800,000, no-strings-attached award to extraordinarily talented and creative individuals as an investment in their potential.
