Research Profile

Sikkink's areas of interest include the politics of education, religion and public life, private schooling and civil society, and quantitative methodology. He has published articles in Social Forces, Social Problems, and Sociological Quarterly on the cultural and religious sources of disaffection from public schools, on religion, protest, and support for the Christian Right, as well as articles that show the relation between religion and trust, and that explain why some Americans volunteered for 9/11 disaster relief efforts. He is currently working on a Lilly-funded project on religious change over the life course (The Panel Study of American Religion and Ethnicity) and the Notre Dame Congregational Survey, which is a national survey of US congregations.
