Labor History, multinationals, International Trade, Business Political Activism, Political Economy, Trade Associations
Women in Business History

My current project examines how US industrial union leaders engaged in political lobbying and worked through international trade union federations to advance their interests related to international trade, capital movements, and global labor standards from the 1940s through the 1980s. Broadly, my research interests include organized labor, business associations, and international political economy.
