Noel Cazenave is an associate professor at the University of Connecticut. He is interested in sociology, as well as the other social sciences, for what they offer as instruments of human liberation from social and economic oppression.
His research and teaching interests are in poverty, racism, and political sociology and they are centered on America's response to poverty among African Americans and other people of color. A more recent and emerging interest is social factors that encourage or inhibit the full realization of human consciousness and being; be it called happiness, joy, transcendence, enlightenment, etc. For developing and teaching his White Racism course, he received a Northeast Magazine Connecticut Bloomer award for contributions to the quality of life of the state.
Professor Cazenave is currently teaching at the Greater Hartford Campus each spring semester. Courses taught include White Racism, African Americans and Social Protest, Sociological Perspectives on Poverty, and the Social Construction of Happiness.
