Dr. J. L. Parsells-Johnson is a qualitative sociologist interested in uncovering the social conditions needed for intercultural dialogue and movement-building. His work centrally addresses key issues and debates at the heart of these matters, particularly the promise and limits of privileged allies in social movements. His publications have contributed to an emerging line of research focused on individuals occupying privileged racial, class, sex, gender, and/or sexual social locations who identify as allies for marginalized groups, documenting the interactional mechanisms of their listening to social movements and the social construction of their moral identities.
