From June 2006 to August 2007, Professor Kerbo was the recipient of an Abe Fellowship to conduct fieldwork on poverty and poverty programs in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. He has recently finished the first manuscript from this fieldwork, titled The Tragedy of Cambodian Poverty: From the Killing Fields to the 21st Century. Professor Kerbo has published several books and numerous articles on the subjects of social stratification, comparative societies, and economic development and world poverty. He is the author of a basic sociology text book, Sociology: Social Structure and Social Conflict, and, most importantly, the author of the nation's leading textbook on social stratification (Social Stratification and Inequality, now in its seventh edition and recently translated into Spanish). Professor Kerbo is creator and general editor of the McGraw Hill Comparative Societies Series, which includes books on eleven countries. The first volume, Modern Japan, by Harold Kerbo and John McKinstry, was published in 1998.
