In the Media!

A sociologist, whether in the classroom or in the media, is a public figure.  This is not a role we can ignore or abdicate, but rather a central feature of who we are.  As scholars and as teachers, we share a responsibility to ensure that accurate information and informed analysis be made public.  Since my first professional interview with WZOZ FM in 1998, my work has been featured in several media outlets throughout New York State.  In most cases, they were simply interviews or press releases through the Center for Social Science Research.

I have also written two special sections for the Syracuse Post-Standard.  The first ran May 26, 2002 and discussed the changes in the central New York Economy.  In October, the paper will publish a two-part feature about the economic challenges facing New York State communities.
