Snow's research centers on labor history and political economy, with current projects analyzing revolutionary labor movements and the evolution of labor discipline. Their forthcoming books explore how port laborers shaped Atlantic revolutions through collective action (Enemies of Order) and trace the co-development of economic thought with labor control mechanisms from Bentham's panopticon to modern surveillance capitalism (Control Science). This work bridges historical analysis with contemporary critiques of power structures in workplace management.

Snow contributes to Jacobin magazine, Platypus, and the CASTAC blog, while maintaining the Another Way newsletter on Buttondown. Their teaching portfolio includes advanced courses on the History of the Ocean, Science/Technology/Society, Atlantic World History, Shadow Economies, Sea Power, and labor radicalism from 1600 to present.
