Jennifer Carlson Biography

Jennifer Carlson is a sociologist reconfiguring our understanding of gun culture in the United States. Through ethnographic research with gun owners, educators, and sellers; law enforcement; and state licensing bodies, Carlson investigates the motivations and assumptions that drive gun culture.

Carlson’s first book, "Citizen-Protectors: The Everyday Politics of Guns in an Age of Decline" (2015), examines why individuals choose to own and carry firearms. Her interviews with gun carriers probe their motivations for carrying a gun—often described in terms of personal safety—to reveal the civic and moral duties they attach to gun ownership. Carlson traces the development of gun carrying as a political practice to, in part, the agenda of the National Rifle Association (NRA). Roughly a million people are trained each year by NRA-certified instructors, and in many states NRA training meets the qualification for concealed carry licensing. NRA training emphasizes guns as an indispensable tool of good citizenship.

She is also at work on a large-scale study of trauma among people affected by gun violence. With her balanced and rigorous approach, Carlson is a sought-after voice on the nuances of gun culture in the United States.
