Dr. Mark Levine is a sociologist from the United States of America. He received his Ph.D. in 1976 from Bowling Green State University (Ohio) upon completion of his doctoral dissertation on the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany in 1928. His academic specialties within sociology were in the fields of social change, social movements and popular culture. In 1974 he was the co-editor of the book Theories and Paradigms in Contemporary Sociology. His writings have appeared in various academic journals including Youth and Society, Journal of Popular Culture, Contemporary Sociology and Mental Health Digest.After teaching at the State University of New York at Albany, Dr. Levine left academic sociology in 1976 and spent the next 29 years as a “public sociologist” contributing his skills to work as a full-time volunteer on behalf of organizations of low-income workers across the United States. In this capacity, he provided leadership in the form of education and training to thousands of volunteers including the low-income workers themselves. During that period he was an invited speaker at more than 25 colleges and universities in five different states. His writings appeared in local newspapers and other publications in dozens of communities in 10 states. As an expert in both the theory and practice of organizing “unrecognized workers,” i.e. those not covered under United States labor laws, he was an invited participant at the 2004 meetings of the American Sociological Association on a panel on “Community Organizing in the Era of Globalization.”Dr. Levine came to China in 2005 to aid in the national English-education campaign. His first two years in China were in the central Jiangsu Province city of Huai’an. There, he taught at Huaiyin Teachers College as well as two middle schools. During those two years he also taught primary school students as well as workers being trained at the Jiangsu Oilfield Exploration Training Center. He was the only foreigner invited to participate in a three-hour televised public meeting with city leaders called “The Building of a New Huia’an.” Also while in Huai’an, he was selected to participate as one of 18 foreigners from around Jiangsu Province in the Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation’s “2006 Glamorous Jiangsu” competition. The story of his life as “an old American man in the hometown of Premier Zhou Enlai” was awarded third prize.Dr. Levine moved to Beijing in 2007 to accept a position at Minzu University of China (MUC) where he teaches in the School of Foreign Studies. At MUC he primarily teaches classes in American Culture, British Culture, Public Speaking and Debating.
