Danielle J. Lindemann is a sociologist who studies gender, sexuality, the family, and culture– particularly as they relate to occupations. Specifically, she analyzes non-normative (“deviant”) behaviors and how they illuminate core features of social life. Lindemann received her BA from Princeton University in 2002, her PhD from Columbia University in 2010, and she is currently an Associate Professor of Sociology at Lehigh University. Her research has been featured in media outlets such as The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report, CNN, and Rolling Stone. She has spoken about her work on National Public Radio and has written opinion pieces for CNN, Newsweek, Salon, Fortune, Quartz, and Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning. In her downtime, she's a fan of crossword puzzles and really, really terrible reality television.
