Daniel Belback

Daniel Belback is a PhD student in Sociology at the University of California, San Diego.

He studies these dynamics in local civic settings, including community and town-meeting politics. He holds an MA in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago and a joint MA in Cultural Sociology from the University of Trento and Masaryk University.
