Welcome to the academic ePortfolio of R.C. Morris, an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Utah. With a PhD in Sociology from Purdue University and an MSW from the University of Utah, Morris bridges social psychology, criminology, and existential psychotherapy in both research and practice.

Research Focus:
Morris explores the intersection of social psychology and criminology, particularly how self-processes influence deviant behavior. Their work draws from:
- George Herbert Mead's pragmatist tradition
- Symbolic Interactionism (SI)
- Shalom Schwartz's value theory
- Heimer and Matsueda's social control frameworks
- Life-course development of moral values
Academic Roles:
Teaches in three disciplines:

- Social Work
- Sociology
Combines existential psychotherapy with sociological theories like Weber's verstehen. Current research examines self-control mechanisms in deviance through SI lenses.
