Cameron Graham of Union City, a senior in sociology at the University of Tennessee at Martin, recently presented his research at the 76th annual meeting of the Southern Sociological Society in Atlanta.
His presentation was entitled “James Holmes: A Case Study of Total Institutions and Mass Shootings.”
While at the meeting, Graham also presided over a session on gender, crime and violence. About 750 students and faculty attended the meeting this year, according to Dr. James N. Maples, assistant professor of sociology at UT Martin.
Established in 1935, the Southern Sociological Society is a society of professionals that promotes the development of sociology as a profession and scientific discipline.
In addition to the presentation, Graham was also recently voted by his peers as Outstanding Urban Sociology Student for UT Martin for 2013.
