Background
I received my B.A. in sociology from Old Dominion University in 1977, and my M.A. (1981) and Ph.D. (1983) degrees in sociology from the University of North Carolina. I joined the University of Cincinnati faculty in 1986, and now serve as Director of the Kunz Center for Research on Work, Family, & Gender. Please link to that page to find out more about the research that my colleagues and I are doing, and to get the information on work and family issues.
Areas of Interest
My teaching interests are in work and family issues, poverty, social inequality, sports, and research methods and statistics. Currently I am engaged in research on the changing nature of fatherhood, sex-of-supervisor effects on job satisfaction, and the effect of nonstandard work schedules on the work and family lives of retail food workers (a project funded by the National Science Foundation). In addition, I am now interviewing working-class married couples about how each partner negotiates rights to a restful sleep (a project funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation).

Favorite Web sites
When doing research, I find the government web
sites particularly useful such as the Census
Bureau, or the the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, (which is an agency in the the Department of Labor).
If you want to know more about sociology, one of the best sites is maintained
by Julian Dierkes.
This site has information on departments, professional associations, links to
search engines on sociological topics, etc. Another good source for information
about sociology is to go to the site for the American
Sociological Association. Away from sociology, I follow the world of sports
as covered by ESPN, but in particular I
like college basketball, especially the North
Carolina Tarheels and Cincinnati Bearcats. When not
watching, I like to play basketball, golf, and train for marathons (my
favorites are the Flying Pig and
Columbus marathons).
