As a sociologist, I am interested in democracy and capitalism; political culture and civil society; political protest and culture; class, culture, and consumption; socialist and post-socialist history, politics, and culture in Europe and Eurasia; and sociological theory. My work has won awards from the Council for European Studies and the American Sociological Association’s sections on theory, comparative-historical sociology, and sociology of culture. I have taught courses in sociological theory, social movements, Russian history, and Jewish studies at the New School, New York University, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
