My research areas are macro and comparative sociology, globalization and transnationalism, political economy, political sociology, development and social change, immigration, Latin America and the Third World, class and capitalism.  I attempt to link my academic work to struggles in the United States and around the world for social justice.  Among the undergraduate classes I teach are: Globalization and Resistance, Sociology of Globalization, Global Inequalities, Development and Social Change in Latin America, and Twentieth-Century Revolutions in Theory and Practice.  My publications and professional activities are discussed on my web page:  http://robinson.faculty.soc.ucsb.edu/
