Biography
Stephen ("Steve") Morgan received a Ph.D. in Sociology from Harvard University in 2000, an M.Phil. in Comparative Social Research from Oxford University in 1995, and a B.A. in Sociology from Harvard University in 1993. He began his career in the Department of Sociology at Cornell University, joining as an Assistant Professor in 2000 and leaving in 2014 after serving as the Jan Rock Zubrow '77 Professor in the Social Sciences. For additional biographical detail, see his Wikipedia page. He now lives in Towson with his wife, Sydney Van Morgan. Because their two children, Vinny and Trixie, have left for college, they spend even more time spoiling their dog Edgar, cat Gus, and recently inherited cat Sansa. He remains a committed ice hockey fan, and he has failed to develop an appreciation for lacrosse.
