He received a Ph.D. in urban planning (with an emphasis in sociology and Chicana/o & Latina/o studies) from UCLA, class of 2002. He also holds a MA in urban planning from the University of Iowa; and a BS in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University. <p>After graduating from Texas A&M in 1992, he spent two years as an engineer with Chevron Chemical Co. at a refinery in Texas. He left to Iowa to pursue his interest in urban social problems. He then became a VISTA Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity before beginning his studies at UCLA.</p> <p>Rich's research areas are a) social power, particularly the manufacture of perception; b) social movements, in particular the social psychological conditions that influence their emergence; c) Empire; d) the Chicana/o Catholic experience. Rich's first book, PADRES: The National Chicano Priest Movement, was published in June, 2005 by the University of Texas Press. Professor Martinez teaches introductory and advanced courses in Chicana/o-Latina/o sociology, urban planning, and social movements.</p> </div> </div> <br/> <div id="toggle_links" class="toggle_links" style="display:none;"> <a class="toggle_link" href="#" onclick="profile_toggle(this);; return false;" toggle_target="background_sections">Education & Background</a> <a class="toggle_link" href="#" onclick="profile_toggle(this);; return false;" toggle_target="professional_sections">Publications & Professional Experience</a> </div> <div class="profile_tabbed_sections"> <div class='background_sections'> <h2 class="specialties" id="specialties">Specialties</h2> <ul class="specialties"> <li> social power </li> <li> organizations and institutions </li> <li> social history and sociology of the Chicana/o Catholic experience </li> <li> manufacture of perception </li> <li> Empire </li> </ul> </div> <div class='background_sections'> <h2 class="educational_backgrounds" id="educational_backgrounds">Educational Background</h2> <ul class="educational_backgrounds"> <li> Ph.D.: Urban Planning, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, 2002. </li> <li> M.A.: Urban Planning, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, none. </li> <li> B.S.: Chemical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, none. </li> </ul> </div> <div class='professional_sections'> <h2 class="publications" id="publications">Publications</h2> <ul class="publications"> <li> <em>Padres: The National Chicano Priest Movement</em>.
