Welcome aboard Cliff.  I think you may find this a somewhat different strain of discussion and theory from your background, which I hope you enjoy.  Look forward to your posts.

Cheers,
Chris

  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.
