Current Research:

I am currently writing a book on the Saturn Automobile Corporation in which I explore how workers' identities and worldviews are affected by Saturn's unique corporate philosophy, brand image, and workplace structure. The research examines the transformation of working-class subjectivity with the transition to post-Fordism industrial arrangements.
