Storm Advisory

UHart will remain closed on Tuesday, Feb. 24. There will be no in-person classes held on Tuesday. Please note that when a campus closing prevents an in-person class from meeting at its scheduled time, faculty may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online. Students should check Blackboard and their email regularly on such days to learn of any alternate arrangements. Online and remote courses are not affected by campus closings and meet as scheduled.

Students who left campus prior to the storm may arrive back on campus after 11 a.m. on Tuesday. See parking relocation instructions for residential students.

Woody Doane is professor of sociology. He teaches Studies in Social Problems; Sports and Society; Race, Ethnicity and Inequality; and Race and Ethnic Relations.

"I enjoy engaging with students and sharing my passion for sociology," Doane says. "In my opinion, it is extremely important for students to understand and think critically about the social world that we live in. My goal in class each day is to have students leave with new ideas, thoughts, and insights."

Doane's research interests include:

  • Racism (U.S. and global)
  • Racial discourse
  • Color-blind racial ideology
  • Whiteness
