After graduating from the University of California at Irvine, Diamond earned a Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley in sociology.[2] Having conducted research since the early 1980s, her Ph.D. dissertation, entitled "Right-Wing Movements in the United States, 1945-1992", served as the basis for her second book, Roads to Dominion. [citation needed]
Her book, Not by Politics Alone: The Enduring Influence of the Christian Right, was reviewed by Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly.[3][4][5][6]
She has taught journalism and sociology at several California universities, and for several years wrote a regular column for Z Magazine. She is also known[citation needed] for her critique of the US Institute of Peace.[7]
Diamond then switched careers, attending the Hastings College of Law, from which she graduated in 2003.[2]
The Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley maintains the Sara Diamond Collection on the U.S. Right, an archive of the materials she assembled about the conservative movement in the United States. University publications have described it as one of the largest collections of its type in the country.[8][9]
