| My research focuses on: (1) the nature and sources of poverty and inequality; and (2) the relationships between political institutions and markets. These themes illustrate my interest in the study of comparative/international political economy, stratification, labor and work, and poverty and social policy. My research utilizes both macro- and individual-levels of analyses, and examines both the U.S. and comparative-historical cases. Much of my research compares the affluent democracies of Western Europe and North America. Recently, I have also been studying developing countries, including especially Latin America and India. I have conducted research on a variety of topics including globalization, welfare states, labor unions, deindustrialization, voting, development, poverty and inequality. Presently, my work is animated by the following broad questions: How do politics and policies influence social equality? What does this era of heightened globalization mean for the politics of and prospects for broadly shared well-being? How do global economic transformations shape political institutions and how do those institutions mediate the impact of such transformations? Finally, how do power relations and institutions shape the lives of workers? I teach courses on research methods, poverty and stratification, and economic and political sociology. In addition, I am the Director of the Center for European Studies and have a secondary appointment in the Sanford School of Public Policy.
