Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

As a sociologist of work, he has studied and written about many aspects of work and employment, including trade union organizing; nursing home work; auto manufacturing; bullying and other forms of workplace incivilities; downward mobility and job searching among displaced workers; and the relationship between employment and recidivism among the formerly incarcerated. 

His current research examines how experiences of legal and legal work are intertwined in the lives of formerly incarcerated men.
