Selected Works of Thomas Janoski

Professor of Sociology

Professor Thomas Janoski received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and has done research and taught at Michigan State University, Duke University, and has been at the University of Kentucky for the last 20 years. He has written books on political and economic sociology, citizenship and civil society, immigration and naturalization, lean production and the world division of labor; and comparative employment policy in 18 countries. He is currently the lead editor of The New Handbook of Political Sociology at Cambridge University Press. His other current projects are: The International Handbook of Lean Production, Towards a New Theory of Citizenship, and A Synthetic Theory of Political Sociology. This year he was elected to be the chair of the Political Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association. Methodologically his approach is wide ranging with historical- institutional, Boolean, pooled time-series, survey research, and ethnography methods. Theoretically, he is a left- or optimistic-Weberian with all of the dialectical contradictions that may imply, and he uses a symbolic interactionist approach to identity and self-formation. As of the moment, he teaches classical theory, comparative-historical methods, and proposal writing.
