About the Speaker
BARRY EIDLIN is a Ph.D. student in the Sociology department at the University of California, Berkeley. His research seeks to understand processes of political and organizational change, focusing in particular on the role that internal organizational dynamics and state actors play in creating and constraining those change processes. Prior to pursuing graduate study, Eidlin was an activist in the union democracy movement as a staff organizer for Detroit-based Teamsters for a Democratic Union, the 30 year-old rank and file reform movement inside the Teamsters Union.
This event is co-sponsored with the Department of Sociology and Canadian Studies Program.
