Lucas Lopez
Public Sociologist
Lucas Lopez is a PhD candidate at Florida International University, specializing in urban ethnography with a focus on post-colonial theory, urban sociology, and world-systems analysis. His dissertation is a native-ethnography of a tight-knit, marginalized community in Brooklyn, New York, where he was born and raised. This unique perspective allows Lucas to utilize a reciprocative-method, capturing personal, oral-histories which highlight social, and material developments often overlooked. Lucas is among a growing collective of academics that feel empowered by the amplified voices of the subaltern.
As the former president of the Sociology Anthropology and Geography Graduate Student Association (SAGGSA), Lucas organized two interdisciplinary graduate student conferences and assisted in organizing a third. His role as book review editor for the International Journal of Comparative Sociology has familiarized him with the publication process and fostered intimate working relationships with publishing houses of all sizes. As Lucas approaches the completion of his PhD, he has already published a book review in the International Journal of Comparative Sociology, as well as a peer reviewed article in the Global Labor Journal and another article pending in a journal yet to be determined.
