Biographical Sketch:

Dr. Hannon completed his graduate work at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His dissertation focused on neighborhood and socioeconomic factors influencing urban migration among African Americans. Dr. Hannon’s study of socioeconomic factors and life quality has evolved into a theoretical approach that uses macroeconomic transitions and structural inequality as root factors associated with health disparities, neighborhood disadvantage, and economic stagnation. As a significant component of his personal mission, Dr. Hannon believes that student development and service to the community is critically important to the future of the United States. Dr. Hannon regularly teaches Urban Society, Statistics, and Introduction to Sociology. He ensures that each student receives the care and personal development needed to function at the highest level. He also serves as a mentor to students and neighborhood youth with the goal of helping them achieve their most positive selves.
