Bio

Gary David's research focuses on the role that interpersonal interactions play in the formation of intergroup relations. He has conducted research primarily in workplace settings where intercultural/intergroup interactions take place on a regular basis. Past studies include the analysis of interactions between workers and customers in Arab-owned convenience stores in Metropolitan Detroit. Present projects include examining the nature of collaborative activity in multicultural worksites, and how co-workers build a collaborative relationship through engaging in workplace practices. Dr. David also specializes in Arab-American studies, and ethnic identity research. Recent publications and presentations include topics on Muslim American communities, Arab-owned convenience stores, images of Arabs in the West, Arab-American identity, theories of immigrant entrepreneurship, and intercultural service encounters. Finally, Dr. David is the Administrator of a on-line discussion group dedicated to Arab-American Studies.
