Anthony Gary Dworkin is Professor Emeritus and former chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of Houston. He is the immediate Past-President of Research Committee (RC04) of the International Sociological Association. He served as a council member of the Sociology of Education Section of the American Sociological Association and was Past President of The Southwest Sociological Association. He has published 14 books and numerous articles and chapters on teacher burnout, student dropout behavior, minority-majority relations in schools and elsewhere, gender roles, social movements, and public school accountability. His publications on The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 appeared in the American Sociological Association journal Sociology of Education, in a special issue of the ISA International Journal of Contemporary Sociology, and in books on the political dimensions of public school accountability. Along with his colleagues on the RC04 board he has published articles in Sociopedia on the current state of Sociology of Education. With his departmental colleague, Jon Lorence, he wrote articles and a report to the Brookings Institution of Washington, D.C. on the effects of retention-in-grade on public school student achievement. He and Rosalind J. Dworkin published three editions of their race/ethnic relations book The Minority Report (3rd edition by Wadsworth, 1999). Along with Lawrence J. Saha of the Australian National University, Dworkin co-edited The International Handbook of Research on Teachers and Teaching (published by Springer in 2009). A new edition is in the planning. He co-edited with Peter A. J. Stevens of Ghent University, Belgium, two editions of the Palgrave Handbook of Race and Ethnic Inequality in Education in 2014 and 2019. The book serves as the basis of the Aurora Lecture Series for Summer 2022.
