Kayne is a PhD student in the UCLA History Department. His research primarily focuses on urban space as it intersects working class and labor organizing in the early twentieth century “United States.” With Los Angeles and the Bay Area between 1910 and 1945 as a vantage point, he is particularly interested in worker organizing in the public transportation sector, and community organization against declining service on urban electric railways.
