Has great interest in applying theories and texts to our current political and economic system. curious to learn about what his students are interested in and how the material can apply to their life. accessible and willing to embrace tangents.

SOC ME: i expected more from the class. its taught like history not like a soc class. he takes roll everyday and many pop quizzes. you must read and pay attention to do good. i got a D+ the first time and took it again and got a b+. not the best professor I would not recommend him as he is not easy to work with and is very rude. he expects alot.

One of my favorite profs of all time. Sociology of Revolutions turned out to be mostly a 'rethinking Marx' class.
