Barry Glassner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barry Glassner is a professor of sociology and executive vice provost at the University of Southern California, which honored him with its highest research award.[1] He has written several books, including The Culture of Fear, which discussed the similarly named phenomenon, culture of fear. Michael Moore interviewed him in the film Bowling for Columbine. Indeed, some of Moore's statistics and a story about President George W. Bush mentioned in the movie can originally be found in Glassner's writing. His latest book, The Gospel of Food, was released in hardcover in January 2007 and softcover in January 2008. In this book he addresses U.S. food beliefs, his premise being that much of what Americans read and hear about food is inaccurate and unhelpful. He discussed this topic in depth in his interview on the Skeptics' Guide podcast.[2]
