Dr. Dawn Terese Robinson
(Curriculum Vitae) Dr. Dawn Robinson, Associate Professor of Sociology, has been at the University of Georgia since 2004.
She received a Ph.D. in Sociology from the Cornell University in 1992.
Dr. Robinson's most recent work examines
how macro-level social structures are produced, conserved, and altered during face-to-face interaction. In particular, she works with formal models of identity and emotion that attempt to model the link between structure, culture, and individual social action and experience. Most of Dr. Robinson's work involves testing these theories using experimental methods.
