Anna Milewski

Hello! 

My name is Anna Milewski, and I'm a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

I am a political sociologist using novel sources of data and both quantitative and mixed methods to address questions in social movements, race, and sociology of religion. My dissertation examines the relationship between social movements and religion in an age of declining religiosity and heightened partisan polarization by centering Black religion and progressive religion.  

My past research, published in Mobilization, investigates the role diffuse social movement organizations play in claim innovation under authoritarianism. 

An additional line of coauthored research, published in Cambridge Elements and forthcoming in the edited volume Processes of Collective Action, examines how sources of protest event data affects theory building about racial and ethnic movements. 

I hold an M.S. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology and Economics from Washington and Lee University.
