Corey M. Abramson* is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Arizona where he studies inequality, culture, and health over the life course and contributes to research methodologies.

You can read about his research, books, and methods resources on this site. He has an official university bio here.
Before becoming a sociologist, Corey grew up in an impoverished Los Angeles exurb. He attended LA public schools, played at the Whisky-a-go-go with his garage-band, was a first-generation college student at Berkeley, studied judo and taught English in Korea, and lived on an old sailboat. He enjoys learning new things, getting DOS to run on all his electronic devices, photography, and spending time with his family. Abramson also likes humor, but finds the convention of writing about himself in the third-person awkward.
