Autorenporträt
Peter Marina, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, takes an approach to sociology that incorporates the dialectic of history and biography allowing him to penetrate and interact with a wide range of culturally diverse social groups-public high school youths, street kids, religiously inspired residents of the inner-city, and most recently, police officers of a large metropolitan police force-in a quest to understand both empirically and theoretically this rapidly changing, surprising and highly contradictory late-modern world. He received his PhD in sociology from the New School for Social Research in New York City and his M.A. in sociology from the University of New Orleans. He has previously lectured at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY). His research interests include urban sociology, urban ethnography, community studies, Latino immigration, race and ethnicity, and youth resistant subcultures, among others. Professor Marina instructs classes in urban sociology, conflict, qualitative research methods, problems in urban community, ethnic and minority relations, sociological writing, masculinities, gender studies, and power, ideology, and social movements.
