David’s research
focuses on religion and
politics, and in particular on the contentious
relationship between religious
movements and democratic politics. As globalization increases
religious pluralism and democratization provides
opportunities for religious movements to shape
public policy, how have secular states adapted? The
research intentionally crosses lines of religion
and region, including field work funded by the
Social Science Research Council in the
Philippines, Senegal and Ireland. In
addition to his dissertation, David
has completed survey-based research on Muslim
minorities in Europe and the United States,
original survey experimental work on religion in
US politics, and
a large-N project examining the relationship
between economic development and state
regulation of religion.
