Dr. Jeff Stilley is an instructor in the Department of Sociology. 

His current research traces the emergence of a labor movement organizational network that resulted in a general strike in Kansas City in 1918. The general strike came in solidarity with low wage white and Black women laundry workers. The analysis develops the concept of “solidarity infrastructure,” a type of aspiring hegemonic bloc. This research has been featured on the Heartland Labor Forum radio program (KKFI) and A People’s History of Kansas City podcast (KCUR).

Dr. Stilley can serve on a Global Political Economy qualifying exam committee.
