Shiv Issar
Sociologist in Rochester, NY
Hello there! I'm an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Nazareth University, and a Council Member at the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). My research and teaching interests lie within the spheres of Science and Technology Studies (STS), New Media Studies, Cultural Studies, and Environmental Sociology. When I'm not working on an academic project or in a classroom, I'd probably be cooking, out biking somewhere, or investing some time in an open-world video game/sci-fi movie.
