Research interests: Sexuality, law, global and transnational sociology, political sociology, and social theory.

Bio: Jason's research focuses on the elaboration and evolution of laws governing sex and sexuality in the global environment, as well as the intensifying struggle over sexual rights unfolding within and across diverse national contexts. The empirical project is multi-scalar and draws on archival, qualitative and quantitative methods. Theoretically his work considers the under-appreciated role of sexuality as an axis of social and national distinction.
