I'm a Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. My research has focused mainly on standards for decent working conditions and sustainability in global industries, with particular attention to the apparel and timber industries in Indonesia and China. More broadly, I'm interested in global production networks/global value chains, social movements, and the regulation of global supply chains, including mandatory due diligence policies and market restrictions intended to combat illegality (e.g., illegal fishing, illegal logging).
