Matthew Oware is an Associate Professor in Sociology and Anthropology. He teaches a variety of courses including Race and Ethnic Relations, Contemporary Society (Introductory Sociology), Social Psychology, Popular Culture, and Research Methods.  His research interests focus on the intersections of race, class, and gender in American society. Matthew co-authored an article in the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography exploring African-American male masculinity. He has a chapter in the forthcoming edited book, Biculturalism,which examines the factors that influence the racial identification of multiple ancestry adolescents.
