Areas of Research Interest: Economy & Society, Political Sociology, Social Organization

Current Research Interests: My book, Forging the Military-Industrial Complex: World War II's Battle of the Potomac, presented a theoretically-informed analysis of the World War II economic mobilization. It also laid out an expansive agenda for further research. In pursuing research into U.S. militarism, I have contributed to several sub-areas within sociology, including political sociology, urban and regional sociology and organizations. My current research agenda includes a continuing interest in warmaking, but has expanded in several directions. I am currently involved in research into the rhetoric and the impact of prisons on local economic areas and am pursuing qualitative interviews to examine the interplay of race, wealth and education.
