Janine Giordano Drake studies American history at the intersection of religion and the labor movement, examining how Christianity—especially Protestantism—shaped and interacted with socialism, unions, and working-class politics in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Her work traces topics such as Christian socialism, church responses to labor organizing, and the roots of American radicalism. She frequently writes book reviews and historical essays in this field.
