His research is principally concerned with how marginalized individuals exert a politicized voice in collectivized actions. His monograph, Boxcar Politics: The Hobo in Literature and Culture 1869-1956, that explores how writers and riders created powerful dissenting working class voices outside of fixed hierarchal organizations, is currently under review. His work has appeared in various edited volumes and journals including American Studies, Acoma, Americana: Journal of American Popular Culture and Midwestern Miscellany. His article on graffiti and gentrification in Brooklyn was published in Rhizomes 19: «http://www.rhizomes.net/issue19/lennon/index.html».
