His most recent publication is “Class Mobility and Reproduction for Black and White Adults in the United States: A Visualization,” and he is coauthor with Sam Friedman of The Class Ceiling: Why it Pays to Be Privileged. His forthcoming book with Beacon Press will look at how campaign professionals define American democracy.

His project, “Missing Voices: Why Poor and Working-Class People Avoid Politics,” aims to address inequalities in political participation by working with poor and working-class people to understand how they view electoral politics.
