Part Time Faculty Biographies

Omar Montana is a critical sociologist from Queens. CUNY is his alma mater and he has proudly taught sociology since 2013. Growing up in spaces of marginality and privilege in New York City, he became keenly engaged by questions and dynamics of power/powerlessness in American social life that are rooted in structures of capitalism, systemic racism, and patriarchy. His main goal in life is to foster critical thinking and a passion for questioning structures of power amongst his students with the aim of constructing a future characterized by respect and inclusion. He loves teaching Introduction to Sociology, Sociological Theory, Urban Sociology, and Criminology.

Samuel Stabler teaches sociological theory, methods, and humor at Hunter. His research examines how moral ideals shape, and are shaped by, conflicts surrounding the built environment, infrastructural development, and the management of religious diversity. By theorizing how moral landscapes are transformed into material settings, his research contributes to enduring debates in the sociology of religion, cultural sociology, and comparative-historical sociology. Beyond this, in three collaborative projects, he examines the moral implications of routine sociological debate, the links between humor and sociology, and how the culture of intensive parenting shapes demographic outcomes.
