David Pettinicchio

I am a sociologist at the University of Toronto. I specialize in political sociology, the study of inequalities and social policy. A key area of interest is how politics and policies shape the lives of everyday people and in turn, how citizens get involved in shaping those policies - for example, through advocacy and social movement participation.
I have also written about these and other related issues in The Hill, USA Today, Huffington Post and the Washington Post.
