Fishman, professor of sociology at the University of Notre Dame and faculty fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and Nanovic Institute for European Studies, is a comparative sociologist who works primarily on democracy, consequences of inequality, and interconnections between politics and culture. His books include Democracy’s Voices: Social Ties and the Quality of Public Life in Spain (Cornell University Press, 2004), winner of Honorable Mention for Best Book in Political Sociology (2005); Working Class Organization and the Return to Democracy in Spain (Cornell University Press, 1990); and, coedited with Tony Messina, The Year of the Euro: The Cultural, Social and Political Import of Europe’s Single Currency (University of Notre Dame Press, 2006).

Fishman’s current research focuses on ways in which democratization scenarios shape enduring patterns of democratic practice. Fishman holds a PhD from Yale University.
