| PhD, Northwestern, 1994. American politics, civic and political participation, social movements, and African-American politics. Current research examines the macro dynamics of black civic participation in the post-civil rights era and the impact of emotions and collective memory on collective action during the evolution of the modern civil rights movement. Publications include Something Within: Religion in African-American Political Activism (Oxford University Press, 1999), which was awarded the V.O. Key Award for the Best Book in Southern Politics by the Southern Political Science Association, the Distinguished Book Award by the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, and the Best Book Award by the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. He is the author of "The Macro Dynamics of Black Political Participation in the Post-Civil Rights Era," with Valeria Sinclair-Chapman and Brian McKenzie, which appeared in the Journal of Politics, and Countervailing Forces in African-American Civic Activism, 1973-1994, also with Valeria Sinclair-Chapman and Brian McKenzie (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming). He is also author of an edited volume, Black Churches and Local Politics: Clergy Influence, Organizational Partnerships, and Civic Empowerment, with R. Drew Smith (Roman and Littlefield), and is co-editor with Cathy Cohen of the Oxford University Press book series "Transgressing Boundaries: Studies in Black Politics and Black Communities." He is currently writing a book on black activism in the wake of the death of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955, which is tentatively titled "Blood on the Fields: The Lynching of Emmett Louis Till and the Rise of Black Insurgency." He has been a Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and a Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. |
