Bart Bonikowski is an American sociologist. Prior to joining the faculty at New York University (NYU), Bonikowski was an associate professor of sociology at Harvard University.

Early life and education

[edit]

Bonikowski earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Queen's University and his first Master's degree from Duke University in 2005.[1] While at Queens, he served as Vice President of Operations for the Alma Mater Society.[2] Following Duke, he enrolled in Princeton University for his second Master's and PhD. His thesis, published in 2011, was titled Toward a Theory of Popular Nationalism: Shared Representations of the Nation-State in Modern Democracies.[3]

Career

[edit]

Upon earning his PhD, Bonikowski joined the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University as a faculty associate.[4] In 2016, Bonikowski and sociologist Paul DiMaggio published a paper in the American Sociological Review titled "Varieties of American Popular Nationalism." Their research found supporting evidence that there were at least four kinds of American nationalists; (1) the disengaged, (2) creedal or civic nationalists, (3) ardent nationalists, and (4) restrictive nationalists.[5]

In 2020, Bonikowski announced he was leaving Harvard to accept an associate professor position at New York University (NYU).[6]
