Local Author Publishes Article

Jeffrey Victor, a retired Jamestown Community College sociology professor, published an article in the August-September 2018 issue of Free Inquiry magazine. In “The Social Forces Behind Trump’s War on Science,” Victor offers a sociological analysis of why more Americans reject scientific findings than do Europeans.
