I have held faculty positions in universities from Maryland to North Dakota to Germany to Norway to New York. Taught just over 3,000 students. Worked in organizations from California to Florida to Germany.  I am a multi-award-winning teacher at West Point and the University of Maryland and written 100 scholarly articles and books.  Appeared in the New York Times; Los Angeles Times; CNN.com; the BBC; and National Public Radio, among many others. When not teaching or thinking about sociology, I try to walk, run, bike, swim, craft, or garden, and on rare occasions, accomplishing all eight in the same day.
