Christopher Lyons received his doctorate in sociology from the University of Washington in 2006 and joined the sociology department at UNM in the fall of that year. As a broadly trained sociologist of crime, deviance, and social control, Christopher’s research interests intersect with areas of urban sociology and communities, dominant-majority relations, stratification, and social psychology.
