Professor Michael Nofz approaches sociology as a vehicle for constructive social criticism. If we look at things through a sociological lens, we do not have to take a “this is just the way things are” type of attitude.

Sociology can be used to point us in better directions, and show us new options for how we live. In this spirit, Michael has done research in areas of ethnic relations, consumer culture, and both the positive and negative consequences of modern technology. He is the author of several professional articles and one textbook.

In his spare time, he likes to get away from the digital world and carve wood, using only hand tools.
