I read somewhere that I might want to introduce myself when I joined the 
list.  I am a sociologist at the University of North Dakota, began grad 
school in 1979 at Washington State University.  I teach Social Inequality 
and Contemporary Social Theory.

My interests are in post-structuralism and Marxism, and I am  currently 
writing about and exploring the work of Resnick and Wolff and what is 
coming to be known-- for better or worse-- as the "Amherst School of 
Postmodern Marxism."

I have written articles and essays on class and gender, race, and the 
political economy of health care financing, among some other things.  Last 
summer a book I wrote with my brother, who is also a sociologist, entitled 
Power, Profits, and Patriarchy: the Social Construction of Work at a 
British Metal Trades Firm, 1791-1922 came out with Rowman and Littlefield 
(http://www.rowmanlittlefield.com/Catalog/SingleBook.shtml?command=Search&db=^DB/CATALOG.db&eqSKUdata=0742500764). 
A chunk of this book was also published in the Journal of Historical 
Sociology entitled "'A Strike if Girls': Gender and Class in the British 
Metal Trades, 1913" (Vol. 12, Num. 2, June 1999).

Looking forward to the conversation.
