Meghann is an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice studies at Truman State University. Her interests are in the sociology of health and medicine, consumption, deviance and social control, housing, and how these intersect. In her dissertation, Meghann uses ethnography, interviews, and administrative data analysis to examine the medicalization and criminalization of deviant overaccumulation--that is, hoarding--and how city-level actors define, detect, and "treat" or sanction hoarding in their communities.

Additional recent work explores the relationship between computer use for leisure and physical activity, changes in how drug use is discussed in obituaries related to off-time deaths in West Virginia over the course of the opioid crisis, and the meanings of clutter and role of object divestment in constructions of the contemporary self.

Meghann received her PhD in sociology from Boston University in 2024. ​She  was recently editorial assistant for the Journal of Health and Social Behavior and a CORE Curriculum Writing Fellow and research and teaching assistant at Boston University, where she was honored with the 2022 Teaching Fellow Award in Sociology. Her work has won the 2023 ASA Consumers & Consumption Graduate Student Paper Award, the 2024 honorable mention for Best Student Paper from the ASA Mental Health Section, and is published in the Journal of Consumer Culture, Social Science & Medicine, and Contexts, among other venues. She holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Wyoming and a M.A. in Liberal Studies: American Studies from The Graduate Center, CUNY.
