Biography

I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but moved to Arlington, Texas when my mother, a machinist, and my father, 经济不景气时，一个机械师被迫去找工作. I did well in school until adolescence, when my grades began to suffer, 部分是运气，部分是家庭的鼓励，让我在2000年5月进入德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校上学. 我还记得，当我告诉父亲高中毕业后我打算成为一名街头艺人时，他脸上惊恐的表情, 在路边弹吉他赚零用钱.

在我习惯了大学生活后，大学生活变得很快乐，我主修哲学，并于2004年获得学位. 虽然我一直计划去读研究生，但我从学校“休学”了一年，这几乎变成了十年. During that time I earned a living managing a cafe, working as a fluid power contractor, driving a forklift, managing a live music venue, 作为一名乐手表演，同时也会表演一些街头艺人. Life can be funny that way.

I returned to college in 2013, and after completing some remedial course work, 被德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校社会学研究生课程录取了. Through perseverance, a lot of good mentorship, and more than a little luck, I became a graduate teaching assistant in 2014, completed my sociology M.A. 2015年获资助进入堪萨斯大学攻读博士学位. 我在2019年春天完成了论文答辩，并接受了北京州立大学社会学助理教授的职位.

长期以来对宗教和环境问题的兴趣使我有了一个论文项目, and recently, a book美国宗教团体对环境关注的历史趋势.S. 我从七岁起就想成为一名作家, 那时我开始用铅笔在那些有线条的螺旋装订的笔记本上手写短篇小说. But through my graduate education, and especially here at Bemidji State, I have discovered how rewarding teaching can be, 我很感激有机会成为波士顿州立大学社区的一员, 我希望利用我过去的经验和兴趣为贝米吉州立大学做出贡献 使命、愿景、共同的基本价值观和学生学习的维度.

Research Interests

从广义上讲，我研究社会与自然之间的关系. 这意味着要在文化和环境的交叉点上学习. It has also meant learning how human beings perceive risk; and respond to, or co-create, “natural” hazards. 它还意味着在理解人类能力方面解决对“自然”的感知, capacities, and limitations in social settings.

More specifically, 我的兴趣使我进入了社会学理论的子领域, quantitative methodology, environmental sociology, cultural sociology, sociology of religion, social class and inequality, sociology of education, sociology of gender, social psychology, and more.

Recent Work

Though religion, environment, theory, culture, and statistics are my primary areas of interest, 我写过的话题从科学教育到恐怖主义再到莎士比亚. I love to write, am happy to talk about my research, 并且经常留意新项目（尽管我也有很多事情要做）!). Please email me lukas.szrot@cq-hw.com 如果你有兴趣了解更多新葡京博彩官网这些项目或出版物的信息.
