Michael Agar

Michael Agar left the university in 1995 to work independently. Now he works out of the high desert of New Mexico on projects that range from water to metaphors to clinic management. At the moment he's finishing up a book called The Lively Science: Remodeling Human Social Research, which is about how if we quit trying to turn social science into a branch of physics we'll learn a lot more about how the world works. His only regret is that he never learned how to play tenor saxophone. His only unfulfilled wish is for more water in the Southwest. But on the whole life is good, except when he has to travel by air. He lives in a house that mixes southwestern pseudo-adobe style and 1950s beatnik with his vieja and wonders what's going to happen next. You can see more at ethknoworks.com.
