Bio:

Michael Wallace’s primary areas of research interest are the sociology of work and organizations, social stratification and inequality, and the political economy of U.S. capitalism. His past research has centered on workplace issues such as earnings inequality, deskilling, deindustrialization, job security, and labor markets. Other work has focused on historical and contemporary studies of the U.S. labor movement including strike activity, unionization, and union organizational effort. Recently, he has rekindled an earlier interest in the causes and consequences of military spending in the United States. Also, he has begun a new line of research in urban sociology which looks at metropolitan areas as arenas for the exploration of inequality in the U.S. political economy. In addition, he is also undertaking a series of field experiments examining discrimination based on religion, gender, race, class and employment status.
