Max A. Greenberg

Max A. Greenberg is a Senior Lecturer and Associate Chair in the Department of Sociology at Boston University. He holds a PhD from the University of Southern California (2015). His work bridges political sociology, youth studies, and gender studies, focusing on intersections of state power, gender-based violence prevention, and feminist allyship. He co-authored Some Men: Feminist Allies and the Movement to End Violence Against Women (2015) and Twelve Weeks to Change a Life: At Risk Youth in a Fractured State (2019), both critiquing state policies through ethnographic and historical lenses.

Research interests include:

• Gender-based violence prevention frameworks
• State reorganization of social programs
• Men's roles in feminist movements
• Youth resilience in marginalized contexts

His publications analyze how short-term state programs impact nonprofit efficacy, school disciplinary systems, and youth identity formation. Teaching focuses on linking sociological theory to contemporary policy challenges. No notable awards are listed, though his work is widely cited in gender and education studies.
