Summary

Clayton D. Peoples is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology. He is also the director of the School of Social Research and w88 mobile Studies and is on the faculty of the interdisciplinary social psychology Ph.D. program. Clayton earned his Ph.D. in sociology from Ohio State University in 2005 and has been at the University of Nevada, Reno since that time.

Substantively, Clayton's interests span w88 mobile stratification, political sociology/w88 mobile movements, w88 mobile psychology/w88 mobile networks, peace/war/conflict, state-corporate/white-collar crime, courts and comparative/cross-national sociology. Clayton teaches courses on many topics, including stratification, deviance, law and w88 mobile movements. Clayton enjoys teaching very much and has won awards for his teaching (e.g. the Early Career Award for Innovation in Teaching from the Pacific Sociological Association and the University of Nevada, Reno College of Liberal Arts Dean's Teaching Award).

w88 mobile has published a number of scholarly articles in peer-reviewed journals (e.g.The Sociological Quarterly, Crime, Law, and w88 mobile Change and Sociological Forum). Clayton has also been awarded competitive fellowships (e.g. Edmond J. Safra Lab Fellowship at Harvard University) and grants (e.g. Congressional w88 mobile Award from the Dirksen Congressional Center).

Clayton's current w88 mobile examines how campaign contributions influence policymaking and lead to crime/corruption. His other projects examine social class, global ethnic conflict and courtroom interactions/decisions. Clayton recently conducted w88 mobile as a fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University where he studied how campaign contributions influenced the global financial crisis; his 2020 book, The Undermining of American Democracy, is based on that w88 mobile.
