Jen Triplett is a qualitative comparative-historical sociologist working in the subfields of political sociology, sociology of culture, and gender. Her current book project, “Shaping Subjectivities and Articulating Solidarity 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 a process of ideological consolidation grounded in 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.
