Aaron M. McCright (Ph.D., Washington State University) holds a joint academic appointment in the Department of Sociology and the Lyman Briggs School. He specializes in environmental sociology, political sociology, social movements, social problems theory, and sociology of the body. His intellectual agenda is to enhance our understanding of the relationships among social movements, countermovements, and the structure of power within the state – particularly concerning problems of environmental degradation and technological risks. He currently conducts research in five areas: the relationship between political ideology and environmentalism; the significance of public opinion and public support for social movements; the mobilization and outcomes of progressive social movements at the municipal level in the United States; the ideas of European grand theorists on societal risk and risk management; and the social, cultural, and economic significance of the Sun in the contemporary United States. |
