Dailey is interested in examining the places where the critical theories of sociology and psychology collide. He is interested in how holding certain social roles shape a person’s perceptions, experience, and consciousness, especially when it comes to roles relating to race, gender, and social class. Thomas is also interested in researching ways that neoliberal thinking has influenced various social institutions, particularly higher education, and how the those changes are affecting the rest of society and the individuals within it.
