BIO
Peter Kivisto, the Richard A. Swanson Professor of Social Thought at Augustana College, has published widely in several sociological subfields, particularly immigration, race and ethnicity, religion and theory. He is the author of 30 books and over 100 journal articles and book chapters.
His contributions to migration studies includes work in historical sociology focusing on Finnish immigration to the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He moved on to concentrate on contemporary immigration, first in the United States and more recently including immigrants in Western Europe. He has sought to link his speciality areas. For example, he has written extensively on theories of transnationalism and multiculturalism, and in another attempt to bring these subfields into fruitful dialogue, he has published a recent book on religion and immigration.
He has been a visiting professor at universitites in China, Finland, Germany, and Italy. Between 2008 and 2012 he was Finland Distinguished Professor at the University of Turku and in 2013 that university awarded him an honorary doctorate.
Active in the profession, Professor Kivisto is a current member of the Council of the American Sociological Association. He has held other leadership roles in the organization, including serving as Secretary/Treasurer of both the International Migration and Theory sections, along with serving on the Board of both Racial and Ethnic MInorities and History of Sociology. In 2016, he will serve a term as Chair of the History of Sociology section. He was a Member of the Board of the International Sociological Association’s RC-31, Research Committee on Migration. He is the former President of the Midwest Sociological Society.
A former Editor of The Sociological Quarterly, he currently serves on the Editorial Boards of several journals, including Ethnic and Racial Studies, Ethnicities, Journal of Intercultural Studies, and the Journal of Classical Sociology.
He is currently finalizing an edited book on Robert E. Park for Anthem Press and is working on a two-volumeHandbook of Social Theory for Cambridge University Press.
