His research on American religious history has focused on its emotional components, instances of religious violence, and the interwovenness of political, social, and religious ideologies. His research since 2000 increasingly has focused on integrating spatial technologies (such as GIS) into the humanities, developing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of space and place, and theorizing ways in which the emergent digital humanities can advance the study of religion and culture when framed by spatial considerations.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“Success and failure in our own national economy will hang upon the degree to which we are able to work with races and nations whose social order and whose behavior and attitudes are strange to us.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
