Aaron Arredondo - MA alum

Aaron Arredondo

ALUM
MA in Sociology | 2015
Doctoral Student, University of Missouri
 
Through my education in the MA sociology program at UA, I attained the methodological and analytical skills that continue to guide my research practice and theoretical development today. Taking various methodological, theoretical, and substantive classes with many of the faculty in the department has awarded me the confidence to propose new directions in the field and to understand how to effectively approach various research settings.

Double Major in
Criminal Justice &Sociology
 
My favorite course so far has been Criminal Law and Society, taught by Dr. Shields. I found this class extremely engaging and I looked forward to going to it every day.
 
I spent this past spring semester studying abroad in Berlin, Germany, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Instructor
 
Sociology caught my interest because of its broad based nature. From my perspective, sociology is a field that “touches” pretty much all other social sciences in some fashion. AND I had several friends who had pursued sociology.  I have written papers on homelessness in NWA, emotional labor in the music profession and the aesthetic moment. Currently, the bulk of my research is related to teaching.
