Brian E. Fogarty

Brian E. Fogarty is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. His lifelong interest in war, extremism, and other human ills arises out of a need to understand a simple paradox: that most of the evil in the world is perpetrated by ordinary, decent people--often out of virtuous motives.

As a break from this darkness, his latest writing project is a short book on the role of transportation in creating the modern world.

His newsletter, "Civics Lessons," can be found on Substack.
