Joe Bandy received his B.A. from Rhodes College and his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Since the fall of 1998, he has taught a variety of courses in the Sociology/Anthropology Department, several cross-listed in the Programs of Environmental Studies and Latin American Studies, on topics that include globalization and social change, environmental sociology, poverty and social policy, social movements, revolutions, identity, and U.S./Mexican relations. From 1996 to 2004, his research has investigated the many ways that social movement organizations have responded to the economic changes associated with globalization, especially the efforts of U.S. and Mexican labor and environmental movements to forge coalitions in response to both free trade policy and the social problems associated with export processing. His latest research focuses on environmental sustainability and economic development in Maine, particularly the sometimes contentious relationships between working class communities and environmental advocacy in Maine's extractive industries. He has published and presented his work widely, and he has received grants and fellowships from Stanford University's Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences, the University of California, San Deigo's Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, and the National Science Foundation.
