David A. Westbrook thinks and writes about the social and intellectual consequences of contemporary political economy. His work influences numerous disciplines, and he has spoken on six continents to academics, business and financial leaders, members of the security community, civil institutions and governments, often with the sponsorship of the U.S. State Department. Among his many books are Navigators of the Contemporary: Why Ethnography Matters (Chicago, 2008); Deploying Ourselves: Islamist Violence and the Responsible Projection of US Force (Paradigm 2010); and Out of Crisis: Rethinking Our Financial Markets (Boulder, 2009).
