Dr. Porter recently completed his Ph.D. in Sociology from Mississippi State University in 2008 with graduate minors in mathematics/statistics and geospatial technologies. His dissertation, ” The Spatial Demography of Reported Crime: An Examination of Urban-Rural Crime Articulation and Associated Spatio-Temporal Diffusion Processes, U.S. 1990 – 2000.” illustrates his substantive interest in quantitative methodology and the spatial analysis of social data through the spatial demographic examination of reported criminal offending and associated ecological determinants.
Currently Dr. Porter is researching a broad array of research topics interested in the application of advanced quantitative and spatial methodologies to a number of sociologically relevant topics. Most central to this research is the ecological examination of social and spatial inequalities in society and their contextual relationships to a variety of societal-level institutions, including the education, religious, and economic systems. In all cases the focal tenant of his research is the varying effects of each based on the context in which these phenomena occur.
