Dr. Ernie Thomson Curriculum Vitae
Professor of Sociology
University of La Verne
Dr.
Thomson joined the Sociology faculty at the University of La Verne in
2001 after ten years of service as a faculty member at the University
of Houston Clear Lake and Arizona State University West in Phoenix.
He
completed his PhD in Sociology at UC Santa Barbara in 1991, and MA
(1977) and BA (1973) degrees in Sociology at the University of Texas at El Paso. He was tenured and promoted to full professor at ULV in 2007.
His
teaching interests include a range of sociology, criminology, and criminal justice classes. While at Houston Clear Lake, he regularly
taught a course each semester to long-term prisoners in a medium
security prison south of Houston.
Dr. Thomson has published a number of
articles, essays, and reviews in criminology, sociology, and philosophy
journals. His recent publications include a book based on his doctoral
dissertation on Karl Marx's intellectual development and discovery of the materialist conception of
history (published in September 2004), an article published in a
humanist resource book on "show trials and sham trials" in death
penalty cases (2005), and an article on faculty-owned websites (2008).
Since 2000, he has also created and maintained an
extensive website that supports his classes and research interests, and
his most recent research project explores the use of faculty-owned websites to support both
classes and research. He presented a first paper on this topic at the
National Social Science Association meetings in Las Vegas in April 2008. This paper was published in 2008.
