About Me

Corey M. Abramson* is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Arizona.  Prior to moving to the Sonoran Desert , Corey earned a PhD in Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley where he worked at the Center for Ethnographic Research. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California, San Francisco.  

You can read about his research, books, and methods resources on this site.

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 band (they were not great), was a first-generation college student at Berkeley, studied judo and taught English in Korea, and sold all his stuff to move onto an old sailboat which he sailed down the coast with his wife Joanne. He currently enjoys making electro-indie music with his daughter Avery, photography, and getting DOS to run on all his electronic devices . Abramson enjoys humor as well, but finds the convention of writing about himself in the third-person awkward.
