Angela Barian
Sociology Links
Born in Los Angeles but bred in Milwaukee, I am a PhD candidate in the Sociology department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
I am a multi-award-winning TA and lecturer, and have developed courses on race and ethnicity in the US, and undergraduate qualitative methods.
My dissertation focuses on how we conceive of, and attempt to control, “the obesity epidemic,” especially for children.
When I’m not teaching or working on my dissertation, I love to sing, and have done so professionally on and off since I was a teenager. I’m also an avid knitter, and will probably make you a hat and scarf if you ask nicely. My Swedish meatballs have won awards.
