Sophia Boutilier
Sophia Boutilier was a PhD Candidate in the Department of Sociology at Stony Brook University. Her research conceptualizes solidarity from a position of privilege, investigating how privileged actors confront their complicity with oppression. This model foregrounds how emotions motivate behaviors and can - but do not necessarily - spur critical reflection. Her project applied the model to international development workers, documenting how they navigate dilemmas of solidarity in a global context. Sophia also researches sexual violence in collaboration with Shift: the Project to End Domestic Violence at the University of Calgary, Canada.
