Harry R. Targ studies global political economy and social change, with particular attention to U.S. foreign policy, socialism and left political movements, Cuba, and the effects of deindustrialization such as factory closings on workers and communities. His work also addresses higher education policy and critiques of neoliberalism (an approach favoring market-based reforms and reduced public investment) in universities.
