About

I study, write, and speak about our fascinating, exacerbating social world. Gun culture currently. If there is an arena of social life that generates more animosity (heat) than insight (light) than guns, I don't know what it is. This channel seeks to reverse that equation by seeking LIGHT OVER HEAT. I am Professor of Sociology at Wake Forest University. For 20 years, I specialized in the sociology of religion. In a departure from my previous work, I became a student of guns in 2011. I am particularly interested in the new self-defense oriented core of American gun culture that Michael Bane calls “Gun Culture 2.0.” I have published a short book on the history of concealed carry, Concealed Carry Revolution: Liberalizing the Right to Bear Arms in America (available on Amazon). I blog at gunculture2point0.com and guncurious.com, maintains Facebook pages for Gun Culture 2.0 and Gun Curious. and can be followed on Twitter at @davidyamane and @gunculture2pt0.
