Research Interests:
Victoria Brockett is a doctoral student in the Sociology Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her research interests lie at the nexus of race and gender, the sociology of health and illness, and social movements, with a particular focus on inequalities, feminist epistemologies, food systems, and health activism. Her master’s research leveraged quantitative and novel experimental methods to examine how social location shapes ideas surrounding the meaning and goals of veganism. Victoria currently serves as the student representative council member of the American Sociological Association’s section on Animals & Society and on the editorial team for the Student Journal of Vegan Sociology.
M.A. Thesis Title: “Which Frame for What Group? Frame Resonance and Standpoint in the Vegan Movement”
