Research Interests Educational Background: B.A. 1991 (Bologna); B.A.-Hons, M.A. 1997 (Witwatersrand); Ph.D. 2006 (Witwatersrand). My doctoral dissertation in Sociology at the School of Social Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, is titled "Social Citizenship and the Transformations of Waged Labor in the Making of Post-Apartheid South Africa, 1994-2001." My research interests are in the study of African labor movements, with particular regard to Southern Africa, in relation to changing forms of employment, collective identities, civil society, social movements, social policy, and social citizenship. On these issues I have recently edited (with Tom Bramble) a book on Rethinking the Labour Movement in the "New South Africa" (London: Ashgate, 2003).

Teaching Interests At Ohio State University, I am currently teaching courses on "Introduction to African Civilizations: 1870 to the Present" (undegraduate), "Political Development of Sub-Saharan Africa" (graduate) and "African Social Movements in the Age of Globalization" (graduate).
