My research generally explores social movements in developing regions, especially looking at how workers, their communities, and their allies have mobilized, and at efforts by democratizing states to support social and political inclusion. Most of my work has been historical and comparative. My current research focuses on changing dynamics between unions and poor communities in South Africa. |
