Biography

Dr. Walker received his PhD in sociology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2003, with a dissertation entitled "Pride and Humility: Symbolic Interaction among Working White Men". He has received his BA with distinction from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1993), and his MA with award from Illinois State University (1996). 

 

Dr. Walker is interested in the social psychology of whiteness and masculinity, the condition of blue-collar work in the post-industrial era, resurrecting the concept of anomie and refining it to understand the middle-range consequences of social stratification.  He is also interested in impression management in organizations.  He lives in Lock Haven with his wife and two children.
