Professional Interests
"I am currently working on a book to be titled Confronting the New World Order: Labor, the Christian Right, and the Politics of Globalization. The book analyzes the ways in which social movements of the Left and the Right make sense of, politicize, and form alliances to deal with the processes frequently labeled with the term 'globalization.' I am also beginning a comparative project on political conspiracy theories."
