My research focuses on two broad themes: (1) the nature and sources of poverty and inequality; and (2) the relationships between institutions and economic globalization. These themes illustrate the three-way intersections between inequality/stratification research, economic sociology and political sociology. By demonstrating the interplay between these well-established areas of inquiry within sociology, I aim to contribute to theoretical debates within sociology and across the social sciences.
In addition to these themes, I am broadly interested in stratification, political and economic sociology, comparative/historical sociology, and research methods. My research utilizes both macro- and individual-levels of analyses, and examines both the U.S. and comparative-historical cases. Many of my studies have compared the affluent democracies of Western Europe and North America; including topics like globalization, welfare states, labor unions, deindustrialization and inequality. Increasingly, I am studying less developed countries in order to understand issues of development, deprivation, democratization and social change. Last, I am always interested in hearing about new ideas from students across a host of different sociological subjects.
