Jen Triplett is a qualitative comparative-historical sociologist working in the subfields of political sociology, sociology of culture, and gender. Her current book project, “Articulating Crisis: Political Consolidation and Meaning-Making in Revolutionary Cuba,” contributes to a sociological understanding of immediate post-revolutionary periods by focusing on how new regime leaders shape political subjects and promote cohesion across diverse groups. Through a qualitative analysis of textual data from Cuba in the 1960s, she argues that political elites pursue these goals, in part, through political articulation, that is, the linking together of disparate social groups to form a unifying political identity. Jen holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor and a MA in Latin American Studies from Tulane University. Her written work has appeared in the American Sociological Review and Qualitative Sociology.
