Gary J. Adler Jr

I'm a sociologist writing to understand the basics: religion, civic life, and social change. I interview religious leaders, follow activists, observe civic organizations, and take notes on everything in between.

My latest book travels along with college students and churchgoers on immersion travel to the U.S.-Mexico border. Read it to understand this form awareness-raising: why it's popular, how it's organized, and how emotions turn into action (or not).
