A man smiles directly into the camera. He is bald. His reddish-brown mustache and beard, flecked with hints of white, is worn close to his face. He wears a white button-down shirt featuring a polka dot pattern. His eyeglasses are dark gray acetate and feature rounded rectangular lenses. He is positioned before a gray and white marble backdrop.

Eric Blanc is an assistant professor of labor studies at Rutgers University and a longtime union activist. His latest research project explores the political-economic roots of the decline of community in the US and examines what progressives can learn from evangelical Christians about organizing on our atomized terrain.
