Department of Sociology and

Survey and Evaluation Research Laboratory

I'm originally from Illinois (anyone ever been to Peoria?) and received my bachelor's degree from Knox College in 1967 (a fine liberal arts college in Galesburg, Illinois - even more obscure than Peoria!). My undergraduate major was Political Science, but I wanted to study social science on a broader scale, so I went to the University of Denver and received a Ph.D. in Sociology in 1974. I came to VCU the same year, during a time when the university was expanding rapidly after its creation in 1968. I've worked in several research areas over the years - social demography, sociology of leisure, environmental sociology, sociology of sexualities, and sociology of HIV/AIDS. Currently, I'm active only in the latter two. I conduct most of my research as a senior faculty research associate half time in the Survey and Evaluation Research Laboratory. See Recent Research for some highlights of my current/recent projects. Much of my teaching has been in the research methods and statistics areas. I am currently teaching two courses in Sociology/Anthropology - SOCY/POLI 320 (research methods for undergraduate sociology majors) and SOCY 602 (a master's level research methods and statistics course).
