Clark McPhail uses systematic observations, surveys, experiments, computer simulations and archival data to study individual and collective action in public spaces, religious gatherings, sporting events, political demonstrations and urban riots. His current research - THE COLLECTIVE ACTION PROJECT- has been supported by a series of grants from the National Science Foundation to Clark and his co-principal investigator John McCarthy (Pennsylvania State University. They have examined selection and description bias in mass media reports of demonstrations in Washington, DC and in Minsk Belarus (with Professor Larissa Titarenko). They have studied trends in public order policing in the U.S., with recent attention to the policing of campus protest and convivial gathering disorders. With David Schweingruber (Iowa State University) and Alin Ceobanu (University of Florida) Clark has studied the 30+ year campaign of the March for Life in Washington, DC, and more recently, a systematic observation study of the dynamics and complexity of collective action during the nine hour Promise Keeper rally of a half-million persons on the National Mall in Washigton, DC, October 1997. Papers reporting this research are listed in Clark's ABBREVIATED CURRICULUM VITA on his website.
