| Introduction | I have been a professor of sociology at Missouri State University in Springfield for the past twenty years. My undergraduate degree is from Stanford University in Psychology and my graduate degree in sociology was obtained from the University of California, San Francisco. The sociology department at UCSF was dedicated to the study of medical sociology and took a strong symbolic interactionist perspective. My mentors were Virginia Olesen, Leonard Schatzman, and Anselm Strauss. Further biographic details may be discussed in the posts but this blog has as its purpose the discussion of issues that flow out of the study of political economy and the social and cultural life of our present world. I have called this blog "asimplecountrysociologist" because that collection of words carries with it the irony that I feel every day, embedded as I am in the American midwest. |
